Summary

Live project page: https://usestellarwavehub.vercel.app/projects/astroid

This PR adds comprehensive research for Astroid, a Stellar Wave Program project focused on financial governance infrastructure for autonomous AI agents on Stellar.

The research documents Astroid's architecture, problem domain, Stellar/Soroban integration, technical implementation, team/community activity, and verified on-chain deployment evidence.

What was added

• Added a detailed research.md covering:

  • Project overview and original description
  • Problem Astroid solves
  • How the project uses Stellar and Soroban
  • Technical architecture across smart contracts, backend, frontend, and SDK
  • Team and community information
  • Relevant project links and sources

• Documented the verified Stellar testnet Registry contract:

  • CCUYI4DSYDNOQC377NFIU6K3GVRQ5VQ3MLTG2CUK5N2E7DUPCIJJC4H7

• Added supporting screenshots for:

  • Astroid Soroban contract architecture
  • Backend architecture
  • Verified contract on Stellar Expert

• Classified the project under Infrastructure / DeFi with relevant tags including Soroban, AI agents, governance, treasury, multisig, budgets, policy engine, and escrow.

Research highlights

Astroid addresses a critical problem in autonomous AI systems: allowing agents to interact with real funds without granting unrestricted financial control.

Its architecture uses eight Soroban contracts—Registry, Wallet, Treasury, Multisig, Proposal, Budget, Policy, and Escrow—to enforce organizational spending rules directly on-chain. The surrounding NestJS backend, Next.js dashboard, and TypeScript SDK provide off-chain services and developer tooling while keeping core financial restrictions enforced by smart contracts.

The research also documents Astroid's current testnet-only and unaudited status to accurately represent the project's security posture.

Validation

• Confirmed ASTROIDX556 is part of the Stellar Wave Program
• Confirmed the project is not already listed on Stellar Wave Hub
• Added an original description exceeding 200 words
• Researched beyond marketing material using source repositories and on-chain evidence
• Verified a deployed Soroban contract identifier
• Added accurate category and relevant tags
• Included supporting architecture and on-chain screenshots
• Added a research.md file with sources
