Building the Future of DeFi on Stellar (with Xycloo Labs)

In this episode, we sat down in person with Tommaso, co-founder
of Xycloo Labs at the Stellar Meridian conference in London. We
discussed why they’ve chosen to build in the Stellar ecosystem,
their two flagship projects—Mercury and
XycLoans—and what makes Stellar’s new Soroban
smart contract platform stand out.

What is xyclooLabs building?


Mercury: A comprehensive data indexing solution
for Stellar, built to support the growing DeFi ecosystem with
low-latency ingestion flows, transaction simulation, and
automation. It’s a core piece of infrastructure for Stellar’s
smart contract ecosystem.


XycLoans: One of the very first Flash Loan
protocols on Soroban. Flash Loans are critical for enabling
arbitrage, improving market efficiency, and driving better price
discovery across DEXs.


Tommaso also shared insights on developing within Stellar’s
ecosystem, the importance of strong infrastructure in DeFi, and
how these tools will empower developers to build apps with
real-world impact on Stellar.


And yes—we’ve partnered with Stellar. That’s why
we’re bringing you these stories, these projects, and the
builders shaping their ecosystem. #sponsored
