Lumexo is a non-custodial financial interface built on the Stellar network that unifies decentralized finance tools into a single, accessible system while preserving full self-custody and direct on-chain interaction. The current implementation includes a browser-based Stellar wallet with native SDEX trading, asset management, liquidity pools, lending via Soroban smart contracts (Blend), and fiat on-ramp integration through Transak. Users can trade, manage liquidity, access lending, and perform payments in one coherent interface, reducing ecosystem fragmentation and lowering the barrier to entry. The next phase includes native iOS and Android apps and expanded Soroban integrations to support additional protocols. Lumexo's long-term goal is to strengthen Stellar's DeFi ecosystem by providing stable, user-first infrastructure that connects wallets, trading, liquidity, lending, and future tokenized financial tools.

We believe every community leader and company will become a fintech, every transaction will be a financial product, and that real financial inclusion requires localized, customized, impactful solutions built bottoms-up and self-propelled in monetization. CryptoMate is the platform that makes this possible: a stack on which emerging fintechs, community leaders, entrepreneurs, and SMEs launch, run, and monetize their own financial services. This grant funds a focused new service any of those clients can offer their users on day one: a person walks into any MoneyGram, deposits cash, and within minutes a virtual VISA card is push-provisioned into their Apple Pay or Google Wallet. Underneath, the cash settles as USDC on Stellar via MoneyGram Ramps. The user never sees a wallet address, never holds a stablecoin, never learns what a blockchain is. They just get a card. The target: the 1.4 billion unbanked adults globally — and the cash-economy users in LATAM and African corridors where MoneyGram has dense coverage and CryptoMate's clients already operate.
