Stellar Community Fund
Four submissions, two awards, one mainnet: DeFarm on Stellar, in five points.
The bet
Records nobody can quietly edit
Cattle move, records change, paper burns. DeFarm's bet: anchor Brazilian livestock traceability on Stellar, where history cannot be rewritten.

Three no's
Three Build Award submissions, three community votes, three times not awarded. Each rejection is public, and each one tightens the scope. It is all still on the page.
SCF #40
