Beamable Wins Stellar Community Fund Award to Help Game Developers Ship Faster

By Trapper Markelz 

The number one reason games fail is they don’t ship fast enough. Studios waste months — sometimes years — building backend infrastructure like accounts, servers, commerce, and live ops. By the time they launch, budgets are drained, players have moved on, or worse, the game never ships at all.

Beamable was built to solve that problem. We provide ready-to-use backend services that integrate directly into Unity, Unreal, and Web — helping developers cut months to a year of development time and save significant costs. That means teams can launch sooner, adapt faster, and focus on what matters most: making games fun.

Now, thanks to a $150,000 Build Award from the Stellar Community Fund (SCF) #38, Beamable is bringing that mission to the Stellar ecosystem.

What Is the Stellar Community Fund?

The Stellar Community Fund (SCF) is an open-application awards program that fuels projects building on Stellar. Round #38 awarded over $2.5M worth of XLM to 24 projects tackling real-world problems with blockchain.

Beamable’s initiative, Onboard Game Devs with Beamable, was selected as a Build Award winner, recognizing our ability to bring meaningful traction and adoption to Stellar through gaming.

Why Stellar + Beamable Accelerates Developers

Gaming is one of the most natural fits for blockchain adoption. Players already understand digital assets, in-game currencies, and online marketplaces. What they lack are fast, low-cost rails that make those assets reliable at scale.

By integrating Beamable with Stellar, developers get:

• Time-to-Market Advantage: Ship games up to a year faster with prebuilt backend + Stellar integration.
• Wallet Authentication: Plug Stellar wallets directly into game logins.
• Token and NFT Support: Power in-game currencies, rewards, and digital assets.
• Marketplace Integration: Create player-driven economies backed by Stellar rails.
• Prebuilt Game Services: Use inventory, stats, content versioning, and more out of the box.
  

This means less engineering overhead, lower costs, and fewer missed launches.

Proof That It Works

Beamable isn’t new to this. Today, we power:

• 90+ live games (with 100+ in development)
• 4,000+ developers across 200 studios
• Teams ranging from indie creators to AAA publishers
  

With Stellar integrated, this proven model extends into web3-powered games that reach real players.

Beyond SDKs: Driving Real Adoption

The Stellar integration isn’t just technical. It’s about creating a complete ecosystem for growth:

• Beamable Marketplace: A hub of composable services for developers.
• Beamable Network Boost: A promotional engine that has already driven millions of engagements across Discord, Steam, Twitch, and social channels.
• 3M+ Wallet-Connected Players: Stellar-ready games will benefit from airdrops, influencer campaigns, and coordinated activations.
  

Beamable doesn’t just help developers build — we help them launch, scale, and succeed.

The Road Ahead

With support from the Stellar Community Fund, Beamable will:

• Release Stellar-ready SDKs for Unity, Unreal, and Web.
• Partner with developers to bring the first Stellar-powered games to market.
• Showcase how Stellar infrastructure + Beamable backend can cut time-to-market while unlocking new monetization models.
  

Our mission is clear: help developers ship faster, stay lean, and succeed. Stellar is part of that journey.
