Stellar is an open-source blockchain network designed for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and financial services. Founded in 2014 by Jed McCaleb, Stellar connects banks, payment systems, and people to move money quickly and reliably with minimal fees, making financial services accessible to everyone.
XLM (Lumens) is the native cryptocurrency of the Stellar network. It serves as a bridge currency for cross-border transactions, prevents spam on the network, and enables near-instant settlement with fees as low as 0.00001 XLM per transaction.
