The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) has launched a new initiative called Build Better. This program aims to turn community insights into real-world outcomes.
After the recent crypto winter, only the most substantial projects have stood the test of time. As the crypto community looks forward to a potential bull cycle, many once-popular ventures have faded away. This raises an important question: What’s next for Web3? Will it finally break into the mainstream?
The promise of Web3 remains strong. It aims to overhaul outdated systems, ensure equal access, and unlock new ways to create and exchange value. Stellar, known for its practical applications, is stepping up with Build Better.
Build Better invites everyone to share their most transformative ideas. This platform connects the community with builders, helping to turn insights into actionable solutions.
In the first phase, the focus is on amplifying community voices. Builders are encouraged to share their ambitious ideas across three key areas where Web3 can make a real difference. These areas include:
- Rethinking financial systems for greater speed and accessibility.
- Providing artists and creators with tools to own and monetize their work.
- Removing barriers to ensure broader participation in the digital economy.
Over the next eight weeks, SDF will engage the community through the Build Better platform. They’ll gather insights via polls, questions, and video submissions. While polls spark discussions, only video submissions will count for the contest. The main question is: “What would you build better?”
Once submissions close, SDF will compile the community’s ideas into actionable tracks for the Build Better hackathon. These tracks will help developers focus on solving real challenges. This ensures the initiative not only generates ideas but also leads to real solutions.
According to SDF, Build Better is more than just a hackathon; it’s a movement. It aims to connect Web3 technology with the needs and aspirations of users. It’s a chance to identify broken systems, envision better alternatives, and actually build them.
The Stellar blockchain supports over 550 million tokenized assets and connects to more than 475,000 cash-to-crypto ramps across 180 countries. Build Better represents a natural progression in SDF’s mission to create meaningful impact.
