What is Stellar and How Does It Work?
Stellar is an open-source blockchain network launched in 2014 by Jed McCaleb and Joyce Kim. Built to connect people, payment systems, and institutions across the globe, Stellar allows users to create and transfer digital representations of currencies and other assets — from Australian dollars to bitcoin — across a single decentralised network.
At its core, Stellar uses the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a unique mechanism that enables fast transaction settlement in 3–5 seconds with minimal fees. The network powers real-world use cases including cross-border remittances, tokenised assets, and digital currency infrastructure. Its native token, XLM (Lumens), is used to pay transaction fees and facilitate transfers between different currencies on the network.
- Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) – Fast, energy-efficient consensus without mining
- 3–5 second settlement – Near-instant transaction finality on the network
- Low transaction fees – Fractions of a cent per transaction make it highly accessible
- Multi-asset support – Issue and transfer tokenised representations of currencies and assets
- SDEX (Stellar Decentralised Exchange) – Built-in on-chain trading between issued assets
Why Buy Stellar?
Stellar is widely used by developers, institutions, and remittance services looking to move value across borders quickly and cheaply. The network supports the creation of tokenised assets and has been adopted by organisations building payment infrastructure in emerging markets. XLM, the network’s native token, is required to participate in the Stellar ecosystem — covering transaction fees and enabling currency conversions on-chain. With a strong development community, backing from the Stellar Development Foundation, and active real-world deployment, Stellar remains one of the more established utility-focused blockchain networks available to Australian buyers today.
