The Stellar (XLM) Community Fund (SCF) is making waves in the cryptocurrency world by supporting groundbreaking projects like COCA, a digital super app that seamlessly integrates blockchain technology with the convenience of neobanking. The SCF, an open-application grants program, provides vital support, community, and funding to innovative founders on the Stellar network, as reported by Stellar.
Entrepreneurial Journey of Pavel Matveev
Entrepreneurship, akin to an evolving interview process, has shaped Pavel Matveev’s journey, founder of COCA. His vision for COCA is to redefine cryptocurrency usage by blending blockchain technology with neobanking, creating an all-in-one digital super app. This approach addresses major barriers to cryptocurrency adoption, such as security and usability, employing Multi-Party Computation (MPC) technology and non-custodial debit cards for seamless everyday transactions.
COCA's Strategic Use of Stellar
COCA's innovative approach required a blockchain platform adept in payments, making Stellar an ideal choice. Stellar's early focus on payments and integration with existing systems provided COCA with a solid foundation. Beyond technology, Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) supports ecosystem builders by offering funding and access to a network of like-minded innovators focused on real-world payment solutions.
SCF's Impact on COCA's Growth
In the 25th round of SCF, COCA received a $50K grant to integrate USDC support, enabling users to transact with stablecoins at 80 million merchants globally. This strategic milestone accelerated COCA's growth, culminating in a $1M Series A investment led by SDF. This trajectory highlights SCF's unique role in recognizing impactful applications and visionary founders, providing them with crucial funding, guidance, and community support.
COCA's journey exemplifies how SCF's support can propel innovative projects, transforming cryptocurrency from a niche tool into a mainstream financial experience. By leveraging Stellar's platform and resources, COCA is set to revolutionize how people interact with cryptocurrency in everyday financial activities.
