Buy StellarStellar is an open-source blockchain network designed to facilitate swift and cost-effective cross-border payments and asset transfers. Launched in 2014 by Jed McCaleb (co-founder of Ripple) and Joyce Kim, its aim was to build a more inclusive and accessible financial system.
The network is supported by the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), a non-profit organisation that oversees its ongoing development and adoption. The SDF’s responsibilities include maintaining Stellar’s open-source code, promoting ecosystem growth, and advancing financial inclusion by supporting applications such as remittances and asset tokenization.
Soroban is Stellar’s smart contract platform. Soroban contracts are written in the programming language Rust and compiled into WebAssembly (Wasm), a lightweight format designed for fast and secure execution across many environments.
Traditional Stellar accounts use a system of base reserves, requiring small minimum balances of XLM to prevent the ledger from being filled with unused entries. Soroban introduces a rent-based model, where contracts pay fees according to how much storage they consume and how long it remains active.
This approach allows developers to build applications like lending platforms and asset management tools while maintaining efficient resource use and benefiting from Stellar’s fast and low-cost base layer.
Anchors are trusted entities like banks, fintech companies, or payment providers that serve as Stellar’s on- and off-ramps. They accept deposits in fiat currency like U.S. dollars or Euros and issue equivalent tokens on the Stellar network. These tokens can be transferred globally in seconds and redeemed back into fiat currency through the same or another anchor. This makes Stellar suitable for cross-border payments and remittances, where speed and lower costs are a priority.
The XLM token is the native utility token of the Stellar protocol. It is used within Stellar’s infrastructure and ecosystem for a variety of purposes, including:
Bridge currency: XLM can act as an intermediary asset between two currencies that do not have a direct trading pair, supporting efficient cross-currency transactions.
Transaction fees: Every transaction requires a small fee in XLM, which helps prevent spam on the network and ensures transactions can be prioritized during periods of high activity.
Minimum balances: To keep an account active on Stellar, users need to hold a small balance of XLM. The requirement increases as the account adds more features like trustlines or offers.
Smart contracts: On Soroban, XLM is used to pay rent for storing smart contract data on the ledger.
