Stellar Foundation’s 2025 Roadmap

A newly released roadmap from the Stellar Foundation emphasizes the critical need to enhance three key areas: Real-World Assets, monthly active addresses, and Decentralized Finance (DeFi).

Objectives for 2025

• Total Value Locked (TVL): Stellar aims to achieve a TVL of $1.5 billion by 2025 while bolstering lending, saving, and borrowing protocols.
• Top 10 DeFi Platform: The Foundation’s primary goal is a significant entry into the top 10 DeFi platforms by targeting a TVL of $1.5 billion from its current $62.24 million. Key initiatives include enhancing the DeFi ecosystem and linking Traditional Finance (TradFi) with DeFi.
• Monthly Active Addresses: Stellar intends to break into the top 10 projects by achieving 5 million monthly active addresses, with a goal of 3 million being payment-focused.
• Real World Assets: The Foundation aims to reach $3 billion in Real World Assets (RWA) by 2025, planning to build a Stellar-first issuance platform and engaging with institutional asset issuers.

Collaboration and Infrastructure

Collaboration with Ondo Finance will help expand RWA financing, including the launch of the USD Yield (USDY) on the Stellar network. Stellar seeks to enhance blockchain solutions as part of its membership with the RWA Foundation.

In conclusion, this roadmap is seen not merely as another blockchain plan but as a commitment to creating a financial infrastructure that delivers economic value across businesses, institutions, and consumers. Recent proposals from Stellar validators aim to improve ledger capabilities in preparation for this growth.
