🚀 Trustless Work Update: Growth, New Partnerships & What’s Next

As we wrap up an incredible stretch with the Draper Embark Program, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to Draper University, Stellar Development Foundation, and everyone who has supported Trustless Work throughout this journey. The past few months have been transformative, and the momentum keeps building!
During this program we, focused on iterating our API and launched our Backoffice dApp! This dapp is a great tool for those platforms aiming to integrate our escrows API as they can now also use it as a back office tool 😉 .

🌍 Expanding Our Reach: San Francisco, New York & ETH Denver

After a successful product showcase in San Francisco, where Armando joined me, our next stop was New York, where we had the opportunity to present Trustless Work at the Stellar Offices and Republic. Being in a global FinTech hub, we received strong feedback and connected with a potential investors and new strategic partners. The positive response reaffirmed that Trustless Work is tackling a real problem, and it was exciting to see the traction we’re building.

From New York, we headed to ETH Denver, where Joel and Caleb joined me for their first time in the U.S. The experience was a real eye-opener for them, showing the scale of opportunities ahead of us. The interest in stablecoins was huge, and since Trustless Work provides infrastructure optimized for stablecoins, we saw an overwhelming level of engagement. We connected with more potential customers—some with significant traction—who are now exploring integrations. We also built relationships with protocol founders and ecosystem partners who see immense value in what we’re building.

🛠️ Building with Open Source

Alongside our global outreach, we’ve continued building with Open Source campaigns on Only Dust, and we’re now seeing recurring contributors who are becoming more integrated with the team. The increasing engagement from open-source contributors reflects the growing excitement and value of Trustless Work within the developer community.

Special shoutout to our OS contributor, Mai, who single-handedly developed a testnet $TRUST token and a faucet—allowing us to seamlessly test our escrows!
Only Dust recently launched a squads feature, and we’re among the first teams Beta testing it. We have a squad currently integrating Reclaim protocol so that we can have zk proofs on our escrows. So exciting!

📈 Developer Growth & Adoption

Trustless Work continues to gain traction:

• 700+ repo clones, showing strong developer interest.

• New potential customers exploring direct integrations.

• Expanding our network of partners and ecosystem collaborations.

The adoption of Trustless Work as critical developer infrastructure is becoming clearer with each event, and we’re doubling down on our DevRel efforts to keep this momentum going.

🔜 What’s Next: Startup Month at Prospera

Now, I’m heading to Startup Month at Infinita, where I’ll be pitching twice—once to Tim Draper and Adam Draper, and again at Demo Day, which will be shared with a high-caliber network of VCs and founders, including Balaji Srinivasan, Naval Ravikant, Brian Armstrong, and Coinbase Ventures.

Beyond the opportunity to pitch to Tim Draper, during the rest of the program, we’ll be refining our pitch deck, fundraising strategy, and go-to-market strategy as we gear up for our mainnet launch and pre-seed round from April to July.

🚀 2025 is shaping up to be a pivotal year, and we’re just getting started. Thank you to our supporters, investors, developers, and ecosystem partners—we couldn’t do this without you!
