SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Reviewing or drafting a Stellar Community Fund (SCF) submission requires knowing whether similar projects already exist, whether they were previously funded, and whether the new submission fills a genuine ecosystem gap. This Skill structures that competitive research so reviewers can assess overlap, differentiation, and duplicate-funding risk. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Ecosystem Mapping: Searches SCF-funded projects, active Stellar projects, and equivalents on Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos to build a competitor table with status, overlap, and key differences. - Risk Assessment: Flags duplicate funding risk, abandoned SCF predecessors, chain-hopping teams, and market saturation. - Integration Track Calibration: Checks Integration Track submissions against the SCF Handbook's building-block requirements and flags over-scoped budgets relative to typical sub-40-hour integration efforts. - Use Case: While reviewing an SCF Build Award application for a new Stellar wallet, use this Skill to list previously funded wallets, check their delivery status, and articulate how the new submission differs. ## Quick Start Analyze the competitive landscape for this SCF submission about a Stellar-based payments integration and summarize overlap with existing funded projects.

Frequently Asked Questions about scf-competitor-analyst

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze competitors for an SCF submission?▼

Define the submission's category, core function, and target user, then search the SCF Awards page for previously funded projects and Stellar Expert for active ecosystem projects. Build a comparison table covering status, overlap, and key differences for each competitor.

How to check if a Stellar project was already SCF funded?▼

Search the SCF Awards page at communityfund.stellar.org/awards for projects in the same category. For each match, verify whether it is still active, what it delivered, and whether it completed all funding tranches.

What risks should reviewers flag in SCF competitive analysis?▼

Flag duplicate funding risk when a similar project was already funded, abandoned predecessors whose failure reasons are unaddressed, chain-hopping teams chasing grants across ecosystems, and market saturation in the submission's category.

What qualifies as an Integration Track project in the SCF?▼

A qualifying Integration Track project must meaningfully use at least one Integration Partner building block listed in the SCF Handbook, such as a wallet, anchor, or passkey. Most integrations require under roughly 40 hours of work, so larger scopes signal inflated budgets.

When is an SCF submission budget considered over-scoped?▼

A budget is over-scoped when the estimated effort far exceeds comparable integrations on Stellar or other chains, particularly for Integration Track projects that should be small wiring tasks. Reviewers commonly ask such teams to decrease the budget or resubmit.
