How a learner uses StepFi from start to finish
Learner Flow
Step 1: Connect Wallet
The learner connects their Stellar wallet (Freighter or Lobstr). Their wallet address becomes their identity in the protocol. No email, no password, no KYC required.
Step 2: Complete Profile
After connecting, the learner completes a profile:
- Full name and bio
- Country and city
- Current role (Student, Intern, Early-career Dev, Freelancer)
- Skills (JavaScript, Rust, Python, React Native, and more)
- What they want to finance (Laptop, Course, Bootcamp, Dev Tools)
Step 3: Apply for a Loan
The learner browses verified vendors and selects what they want to finance. They choose:
- Loan amount
- Number of installments (3, 6, or 12 months)
- The loan details are calculated based on their reputation tier
Step 4: Loan Approved
An admin approves the loan, transitioning it from Pending to Active on the creditline contract.
