What is Stellar ?

Stellar is a revolutionary open-source platform for currency payments that is revolutionizing the way people move money around the world. Anchors connect the network so that world currencies can interact seamlessly, and blockchain provides a way to collectively maintain a decentralized database. On the Stellar network, users can issue tradable assets, enabling anyone to join and access the global economy.

The Stellar network is powered by the lumen, the protocol token of the Stellar network. With this token, users can send and receive payments in any currency, with low transaction fees and fast settlement times. This makes it ideal for international payments, remittances, and cross-border transactions.

For developers, the Stellar platform provides a range of tools and resources to help them create the future of payments. Documentation and an API reference are provided to help developers get started, and the Developer’s Blog provides news and insights into the platform.

The Stellar platform also provides a range of products and tools for users to make the most of the platform. These include MoneyGram AccessTM, Anchor Platform, Anchor Directory, Integration Partners, Account Viewer, Kelp, Stellar Laboratory, Transaction Explorer, ExpertFreighter, and Node Explorer.

For those looking to use Stellar for enterprise use cases, the platform provides solutions to help with aid, fintech, on/off ramps, CBDCs, remittances, and cross-border payments.

The Stellar Development Foundation is committed to creating equitable access to the global financial system. To achieve this, they provide grants and funding to support projects and initiatives that use the Stellar platform.

Overall, Stellar is an innovative platform that provides global access to the financial system, enabling users to send and receive payments in any currency with low fees and fast settlement times. It is ideal for enterprise use cases, and with the range of tools and resources provided, it is easy for anyone to get started.
