The Stellar Development Foundation is a nonprofit supporting the Stellar network, a public blockchain for payments, asset tokenization, and smart contracts via Soroban. SDF's stated mission is "creating equitable access to the global financial system through blockchain technology."

The foundation funds builders on the network through developer grants, an enterprise fund, and a bug bounty program. It works with developers, fintechs, wallets, and financial institutions on cash-to-crypto ramps that the site says reach 90+ countries.

SDF positions Stellar as "where blockchain meets the real world," with sub-cent average transaction fees and ~9.5-second settlement.
