WHY THIS ROUTE
Same day stablecoin pay for producers is a strong payments story, and both Stellar and Celo fund payments that reach people outside banks. The Ethereum Foundation's ESP is not a fit: it funds open source Ethereum tooling, not payouts on Stellar or Celo.
ARRIVED LOOKS LIKE
A clear thesis, a live co-op pilot and applications in to the programs that fund this work.

2. Gather six weeks of numbers
40 minMembers paid, days from landing to payment before and after, slips disputed, payouts by chain and cash outs by point.
3. Apply to the Stellar Community Fund
90 minGo to https://communityfund.stellar.org/ and signal interest. The fund offers Build Awards up to $150,000 in XLM, and small Instawards through local Stellar chapters. A Build round was listed with a Nov 8, 2026 submission deadline, so check the portal for the current round. They want a validated project that will launch on Stellar, and a referral from an alumnus, ambassador or partner helps. Show your Soroban payout contract, your pilot numbers and the MoneyGram cash out flow.
4. Apply to Celo's Prezenti AI Builder Sponsorships
45 minGo to https://sponsorships.prezenti.xyz before Dec 29, 2026. It covers up to $1,400 in AI coding tools over four months for solo builders, with only five places, so it may already be full. You need public proof of shipping original technical work and a four month plan that includes a Celo mainnet deployment. Your Celo payout contract counts.
5. Record a 60 second walkthrough
30 minA real dock or farm gate, a slip signed twice, a payout and a cash out. Attach it to every application.
