THE PROJECT
The Signal
The Signal is a B2B Web3 services marketplace connecting founders with specialized providers — developers, auditors, marketers, market makers. The platform solves the trust gap in Web3 service sourcing by qualifying clients through BANT methodology before introductions.
The Stellar/Soroban settlement infrastructure enables milestone-based escrow contracts between verified companies — a native crypto payment layer alongside existing fiat payments.
EXISTING TRACTION
THE ARCH'S APPROACH
From idea to funded in 3 steps.
Grant Diagnostic
We identified the Stellar Community Fund as the optimal program given The Signal's direct Soroban integration. Full analysis of SCF evaluation criteria, cycle timing, and committee expectations.
Writing & Positioning
We built the narrative around the unique dual-rail architecture, existing traction ($50M+ capacity), and alignment with Stellar's mission. Each deliverable precisely defined to satisfy SCF KPIs.
Submission & Follow-Through
Submitted the full application with detailed technical documentation, tranche-by-tranche roadmap, and traction evidence. Managed the review process through to final approval.
FUNDING STRUCTURE
$121,000 across 3 tranches.
Each tranche unlocks on delivery of verifiable functional milestones — explorer links, wallet demos, complete transaction flows.
