Grant from the Stellar Development Fund

Liqvid is thrilled to announce that the Stellar Community Fund (SCF) has backed our vision to bring institutional-grade Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization to the Stellar blockchain. This milestone marks a firm commitment to deploy on Stellar and make it one of the first networks where Liqvid delivers compliant, yield-generating private market assets on-chain.

Why Stellar

Stellar is a trusted Layer 1 designed for speed, cost-efficiency, and global financial connectivity. With the launch of Soroban smart contracts, Stellar now provides the infrastructure needed to support programmable RWAs at scale. By leveraging Stellar, Liqvid will demonstrate how institutional-grade private credit and tokenized alternatives can thrive on an open, compliant, and interoperable blockchain.

What the Grant Enables

The SCF grant empowers Liqvid to deliver:
  • Smart contracts for compliant RWA issuance, redemption, and investor access control on Stellar L1 and Soroban.
  • Full integration of the Liqvid platform with Stellar, enabling tokenized private market deals.
  • Launch of the first institutional-grade tokenized transactions on Stellar, from verified institutional LPs.
  • The first omnichain RWA-ready asset on Stellar, powered by Asterizm’s cross-chain stack.

Our goals

  • Real AUM/TVL deployed through Stellar in the initial phase.
  • At least one fully tokenized private market deal live on Soroban, with yield distribution to investors.
  • Verified institutional LPs onboarded via full KYC/KYB compliance.
  • Cross-chain readiness through Asterizm, unlocking future expansion to other blockchains.

Roadmap & Deliverables

Milestone 1
  • Port Asterizm’s omnichain messaging to Soroban (Rust/WASM).
  • Deliver Soroban-native contracts, event emission logic, relayer tools.
  • Simulate end-to-end cross-chain messaging (Stellar ↔ EVM).
Milestone 2
  • Deploy Liqvid’s RWA issuance framework on Soroban testnet.
  • Compliance-gated transfer mechanics + investor onboarding dashboard.
  • NAV oracle integration and test simulation of a tokenized deal.
Milestone 3
  • Launch first live tokenized RWA transaction on Soroban mainnet.
  • Onboard real institutional capital (≥ $3M AUM).
  • Integration with RWA.io for public tracking.

The Vision Ahead

This collaboration with Stellar marks only the beginning. By bringing RWAs on-chain with real institutional yield flows, Liqvid aims to establish Stellar as a go-to blockchain for private market tokenization, while scaling into an omnichain infrastructure that seamlessly connects Stellar with Ethereum and beyond.
