About
Stellar (XLM)

Stellar (XLM) is a decentralized, open-source payment protocol designed to facilitate fast, low-cost cross-border transactions and connect diverse financial systems globally. Its primary purpose is to enhance financial inclusion by enabling individuals, banks, and payment providers to create, send, and trade digital representations of all forms of money, such as dollars, pesos, or Bitcoin. The Stellar network operates on its unique consensus mechanism, the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a form of federated Byzantine agreement (FBA) that allows for rapid settlement times (3-5 seconds) and significantly lower transaction fees compared to traditional banking or other blockchain networks. This makes it a compelling digital asset for remittances and micropayments.

The native utility token, Lumens (XLM), plays a crucial role within the Stellar ecosystem. XLM is used to pay transaction fees, acting as an anti-spam measure, and is required to maintain minimum account balances on the network. Furthermore, Lumens can function as a bridge currency in cross-asset payments, simplifying exchanges between different fiat currencies or digital assets on Stellar's built-in decentralized exchange (DEX). Stellar also supports the issuance of tokenized assets, including stablecoins and other custom tokens, fostering a vibrant environment for asset management and DeFi applications. Its focus on interoperability and real-world asset tokenization positions Stellar as a key piece of Web3 infrastructure aiming to bridge traditional finance with blockchain technology.
