Did you know the SDF has an entire product team? Aside from building and maintaining our web presence they're also involved in building key ecosystem products like our latest and greatest dollar savings product Vibrant! Press play to hear from Sr. Director of Product, Kyle McCollom on what it's like drinking our own cool-aid using Stellar to build real, viable, innovative fintech applications.VibrantKyleTwitterKeybase

It's been awhile since we've had a moment to breathe for a nice Stellar News Recap episode. There's been so many great launches, updates and events over the past few months. Our two biggest highlights from the past couple weeks though would have to be the Vibrant beta launch and the start of the Stellar Community Fund round 5. Let's talk about it!Vibrant Beta LaunchStellar Community FundKoltenTwitterKeybaseEmailTylerTwitterKeybaseEmailMiscStellar Community BlogLitemint Stellar Battle

Building any ecosystem from scratch is hard but a financial ecosystem is doubly difficult. There are many factors at play and each component must grow together in tandem, carefully giving and taking from other participants to support the growth of all. It's a delicate task yet it's one our very own Lisa Nestor is keen and capable to tackle. Tune in this week to catch her history and roll in fostering the complex ecosystem developing around Stellar.Lisa NestorTwitterKeybase

Building a business on blockchain is hard. Aside from the normal challenges of scaling and finding product market fit there are the additional challenges of a highly volatile market and constantly evolving technical landscapes. Konstantin Richter of Blockdaemon is no stranger to these challenges and is forging ahead creating profitable business for other blockchain based businesses. Listen in to hear his insights, struggles and optimism around building for profit in blockchain.https://blockdaemon.comhttps://twitter.com/konstantin11

What if I told you it were possible for anyone anywhere to get unrestricted access to stocks, bonds, or ETFs for zero fees! Sound too good to be true? It's not, it's DSTOQ. As Stellar Development Foundation's first enterprise investment we couldn't be more excited with the vision and product behind DSTOQ. Listen in to hear DSTOQ's CEO Craig Mc Gregor walk us through the why and what of this incredible project.https://www.dstoq.comhttps://twitter.com/dstoqhttps://twitter.com/CraigDSTOQ

The Stellar Development Foundation loves open source, and here at the podcast we have a special affinity for open source funding, which allows people to get paid for creating the world's most essential and accessible tooling. You can understand our excitement then when we ran across Kevin Owocki and his Gitcoin project. Kevin has spent a lot of time and effort thinking about — and building solutions for — the problems raised by open source funding as well as remote community development.  Listen to learn how Gitcoin helps people get paid to work on free software. Gitcoinhttps://gitcoin.co/landinghttps://gitcoin.co/issue/stellar/hackathon-get-startedhttps://twitter.com/gitcoinhttps://twitter.com/owockiStellar Community Fundhttps://stellarcommunity.fundhttps://galactictalk.org/d/2294-stellar-community-fund-season-2-is-open/56Protocol 13https://github.com/stellar/stellar-protocol/blob/master/core/cap-0015.mdhttps://github.com/stellar/js-stellar-sdk/issues/529
