WHAT IS STELLAR?

According to the Stellar Development Foundation, Stellar is an open-source network for currencies and payments. It’s native token, XLM, makes it possible to create, send and trade digital representations of all forms of money — dollars, pesos, Bitcoin, pretty much anything. It’s designed so all the world’s financial systems can work together on a single network. Learn more in our Stellar lumens Guide.

The software runs across a decentralized, open network and handles millions of transactions each day. Like Bitcoin and Ethereum, Stellar relies on blockchain to keep the network in sync, but the end-user experience is more like cash — Stellar is much faster, cheaper and more energy-efficient than typical blockchain-based systems.
