We built StellarForge - an Agentic IDE for Soroban
Getting started with Soroban can mean setting up Rust, cargo, the Stellar CLI, dependencies, and a local development environment before you even write your first contract.
We wanted to make that easier.
StellarForge is an agentic development environment for building Soroban smart contracts in Rust.
Instead of just giving you an editor, StellarForge gives you an AI coding agent that works alongside you to write, understand, debug, and improve your contracts.
It combines:
- AI coding agent for writing and fixing code
- Real
rust-analyzersupport — type inference, hover docs, go-to-definition, autocomplete - Monaco editor, terminal, file explorer, and Git
- Build, test, and deploy directly to Stellar Testnet/Mainnet
- Cloud projects and autosave
- Real-time collaboration
- Ready-to-use Soroban templates
And you don't need to install rustup, cargo, stellar-cli, or Docker.
The idea is simple: go from an idea to a working Soroban contract without spending hours fighting your development environment.
We're sharing it here because we'd genuinely like feedback from the Stellar/Soroban community — especially from developers who have built with Soroban before.

I built XLM Orbital — a NOC-style live ops console for Stellar (sensor map, whale watches, alerts)
Hey — I built XLM Orbital, a NOC-style live on-chain ops console for Stellar: sensor map, whale watches, price divergence, TPS alerts. Free tier, mainnet.
Brutal feedback welcome — especially from builders.
(Solo founder, shipped on nights/weekends — happy to fix anything broken.)

Stellar Nears Major Smart Contract Upgrade as Key Dates Emerge: Stellar is approaching another significant protocol change as developers and validators prepare for Adapter, or Protocol 28. The upgrade targets Soroban, Stellar’s smart contract platform.

theblock.coWhat would people actually use tokenised gold for on Stellar?
Holding it is the obvious answer. Does it become more useful for payments or collateral, or is gold something people would rather leave untouched?

Marketnode to Offer BNY Investments Funds on Stellar Network

coindesk.comI made a short video about Stellar and x402 — would love your feedback
Hey everyone,
I'm a Stellar Ambassador from the Turkish community, and one of my goals is to make Stellar and its ecosystem more accessible through educational content.
I've recently started turning technical Web3 topics into short animated videos.
For this one, I tried to explain what x402 is, how it could help apps and AI agents make payments automatically, and why Stellar could be a great fit for this kind of infrastructure.
I focused on Stellar's fast settlement, low fees, stablecoin ecosystem, and programmable finance capabilities, while trying to keep the explanation beginner-friendly.
I'm still improving both my technical understanding and the quality of these videos, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people in the Stellar community.
- Did I oversimplify anything?
- Is there anything technically inaccurate?
- What would you like to see covered in a future video?
The narration is in Turkish, with English subtitles, so I hope it's accessible to a wider audience.

Thanks in advance I'd love to hear your thoughts!
