TL;DR: Quick answers to what Boundless is, whether you need crypto experience, what XLM is, and how to convert earnings or check availability in your country.
Boundless is a platform on the Stellar network for bounties, grants, hackathons, and crowdfunding. It uses trustless escrow, reputation, and managed wallets (the platform holds your balance; passkey sign-in is planned for the future).
You don’t need any. Get started with the quick start and set up your account. The app guides you through the rest; Boundless manages your balance, so there’s no wallet or seed phrase to set up.
XLM (Stellar Lumens) is the native asset of the Stellar network. On Boundless it’s used for rewards, payments, and fees. You earn XLM on the platform (it goes to your Boundless balance), or you can add it via the app when that’s supported.
Off-ramping (XLM -> fiat) is an upcoming feature. When it’s available, you’ll need to complete KYC first (Boundless uses Didit for verification). Withdrawing your Stellar assets from the platform (e.g., to an external wallet) already requires KYC. See Off-ramping and Supported countries.
Platform access and features (e.g., off-ramping) depend on your region. See Supported countries and check the app for your location.
