What is Stellar and How Does It Work?
Stellar is an open-source blockchain network launched in 2014 by Jed McCaleb and Joyce Kim through the Stellar Development Foundation. Originally forked from the Ripple protocol, Stellar was rebuilt with its own consensus mechanism and has since grown into a widely used network for cross-border transfers and digital asset creation.
Stellar enables users and organisations to create, send, and trade digital representations of currencies and other assets on a single global network. Its native token, XLM (Lumens), is used to pay transaction fees and facilitate currency conversions on the network. Stellar’s Federated Byzantine Agreement (FBA) consensus model allows transactions to settle in 3–5 seconds with extremely low fees, making it popular among remittance services, fintech platforms, and developers building payment applications.
- Fast settlement – Transactions confirm in 3–5 seconds on the Stellar network
- Low fees – Each transaction costs a fraction of a cent in XLM
- Digital asset creation – Developers can issue and trade tokenised assets on Stellar
- Stellar DEX – A built-in decentralised exchange for trading on-chain assets
- foundation-run stewardship – Managed by the Stellar Development Foundation, focused on open access
Why Buy Stellar?
Stellar is widely used by remittance services, fintech companies, and developers who need fast, affordable cross-border transfers. XLM powers transactions and currency conversions across the Stellar network, giving holders a direct role in how the network operates. With institutional adoption from organisations like MoneyGram and a growing ecosystem of payment applications, Stellar has established real-world utility across multiple regions. Its straightforward on-chain exchange and asset issuance tools make it a practical network for those looking to explore blockchain-based transfers and digital asset use cases.
