Stellaroid Earn

A reusable prove, verify, pay primitive for on-chain credentials, built for Stellar PH Bootcamp 2026

Issue, verify, and pay graduates on Stellar testnet: Soroban smart contract, 8 supported wallets plus WalletConnect for mobile (Freighter, Albedo, LOBSTR, xBull & more), installable PWA, end-to-end.

Version archive

Each monthly build cycle is preserved as a frozen snapshot at a pinned subdomain, independent of the live site:

stellaroid.tech always serves the latest production build (main). The April source lives on the april-bootcamp-and-monthly-builder branch; June, July, and August on june-monthly-builder, july-monthly-builder, and august-monthly-builder. July is a read-only archive. August is the live monthly-builder branch, and v4.stellaroid.tech serves its Vercel deployment.

July v3.2 product surface

• Wallet-less guided demo - /demo: the full register → verify → escrow → payout story on real seeded testnet data (a released 25 XLM escrow and a live funded one), with per-step stellar.expert audit links. No wallet, no extension, works on a phone.
• Opportunity directory - /opportunity: every live escrowed paid trial on the contract, with wallet-scoped filters (for you / created by you) and deep links into the milestone console.
• Live escrow evidence - the status page and activity feeds now decode all escrow events (create/fund/submit/approve/release/refund) alongside credential events, deduplicated across the RPC and the Stellar Expert indexer; /app shows the events involving your connected wallet.
• On-site pilot intake - /pilot has a real lead-capture form (rate-limited, honeypot-guarded, delivered by email) instead of a link-out, plus /contact, an honest privacy & terms page, and an RFC 9116 security.txt.
• Performance pass - the multi-megabyte stellar-sdk is lazy-loaded out of every route's First Load JS (/app dropped 483 → ~260 KB gzipped), the brand typefaces (Orbitron/Exo 2) are self-hosted via next/font, and first-party client-error telemetry reports runtime failures to server logs with no third-party service.
• Installable PWA - manifest with maskable icons, service worker (network-first pages, offline fallback, per-deploy cache versioning; verification pages are never served from cache), iOS splash screens. Add it to a phone home screen from the live site.
• Mobile-first redesign - app-style bottom navigation with a More sheet, auto-hiding header, bottom-sheet dialogs, full safe-area/notch handling.
• Developer docs hub - /docs: contract reference (live tag v3.0.0: 19 functions, 17 error codes; source adds refresh/expiry writes), integration, architecture, and security posture.
• Content engine - audience landing pages for bootcamps, employers, and graduate payouts, plus a guides library and a verifiable-credentials glossary - all with FAQPage/HowTo/DefinedTermSet structured data and an llms.txt.
• Multi-wallet signing - Freighter and Albedo natively, WalletConnect for mobile wallets (LOBSTR, xBull, Hana, Freighter mobile), and on desktop xBull, Rabet, LOBSTR, Hana, Klever, and Bitget via Stellar Wallets Kit - all behind one provider interface, lazy-loaded on first use. WalletConnect activates when a Reown project id is configured.

The public entry flow is organized around three personas: Issue, Verify, and Hire. Verified proof pages now hand employers into /employer with the proof hash and candidate wallet preloaded, then require a review checklist before escrow creation. They also hand recruiters into /talent/<address>?proof=<hash> so the candidate passport can show a known proof without pretending wallet-wide credential discovery exists yet. Issuer registration now explains approval readiness before signing, and /pilot keeps the first rollout bounded to a small testnet issuer pilot. Employer proof packs include a recruiter-safe summary plus an unsigned standards-alignment preview for W3C VC 2.0 and Open Badges 3.0 mapping. That preview is not a signed standards credential yet.

30-Second Pitch

Problem: Bootcamp certificates are PDFs that anyone can fake and no one can independently verify. Employers skip verification or pay for a background check service.

Solution: Stellaroid Earn anchors credential hashes on a Soroban smart contract where approved issuers register and verify certificates, anyone checks proof at a public URL with no login, and employers pay graduates in XLM on Stellar testnet, all on-chain.

Why Stellar: Sub-cent fees and 5-second finality make issuing credentials cheap enough that skipping it makes no sense. simulateTransaction lets anyone verify with zero wallet setup. Native XLM via SAC closes the loop from proof to payout on one chain.
