Stellar Assets, Trustlines, and SAC
Stellar's native token mechanism: classic asset issuance, trustlines, and the Stellar Asset Contract (SAC) bridge that makes classic assets usable from Soroban. Default to classic assets over custom Soroban tokens unless you need custom logic.
When to use this skill
- Issuing a new asset (stablecoin, security token, utility token)
- Setting up trustlines from a client or contract
- Managing issuer flags (auth required, auth revocable, clawback)
- Bridging a classic asset into a Soroban contract via SAC
- Building regulated-asset flows (compliance, KYC, freeze)

stellar-dev
End-to-end Stellar development playbook. Covers Soroban smart contracts (Rust SDK), Stellar CLI, JavaScript/Python/Go SDKs for client apps, Stellar RPC (preferred) and Horizon API (legacy), Stellar Assets vs Soroban tokens (SAC bridge), wallet integration (Freighter, Stellar Wallets Kit), smart accounts with passkeys, status-sensitive zero-knowledge proof patterns, testing strategies, security patterns, and common pitfalls. Optimized for payments, asset tokenization, DeFi, privacy-aware applications, and financial applications. Use when building on Stellar, Soroban, or working with XLM, Stellar Assets, trustlines, anchors, SEPs, ZK proofs, or the Stellar RPC/Horizon APIs.
158soroban
Soroban smart contract development on Stellar (Rust SDK). Covers project setup, contract structure, storage types, authorization, cross-contract calls, events, error handling, testing (unit, integration, fuzz, property, mutation, fork, differential), security patterns and vulnerability classes, advanced architecture patterns (upgrades, factories, governance, DeFi primitives), and common pitfalls. Use when writing, testing, securing, or shipping Soroban contracts.
5standards
Stellar standards, ecosystem, and reference. Covers SEPs (Stellar Ecosystem Proposals), CAPs (Core Advancement Proposals), and a quick map for picking the right standard for wallets, anchors, payments, deposits/withdrawals, federation, deep links, and KYC. Also bundles ecosystem references (DeFi protocols, dev tools, wallets, infra, community projects) and curated documentation links. Use when you need to know which SEP applies, or want a starting point for ecosystem integrations and official docs.
5data
Querying Stellar chain data via Stellar RPC (preferred) and Horizon (legacy). Covers RPC JSON-RPC methods, Horizon REST endpoints, streaming, pagination, historical queries, Hubble/Galexie for deep history, and the RPC/Horizon migration story. Use when reading balances, transactions, operations, ledgers, contract events, or building any indexer/analytics workflow.
4dapp
Stellar dApp / frontend development. Covers the JavaScript stellar-sdk (browser + Node.js), Freighter wallet, Stellar Wallets Kit (multi-wallet), Wallet Standard, smart accounts with passkeys, transaction building / signing / submission, Soroban contract invocation from the client, simulation, and error handling. Use when building a React/Next.js/Node.js app that talks to Stellar or Soroban.
4zk-proofs
Zero-knowledge cryptography and privacy patterns on Stellar/Soroban. Covers Groth16 verification, BLS12-381 (CAP-0059, available), BN254 + Poseidon host functions (CAP-0074/0075, status-sensitive), Noir / RISC Zero integration, privacy pools, confidential tokens, Merkle tree commitments, and status-sensitive guidance for protocol/SDK readiness. Use when building privacy-preserving applications or ZK-verifier contracts on Stellar.
