What is Stellar
Stellar is an open payment network launched in July 2014 by Jed McCaleb, who had earlier co-founded Ripple, and lawyer Joyce Kim. It is developed by the non-profit Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), and the payments company Stripe backed the project at the start. The native coin is called the lumen, ticker XLM.
Stellar first ran on code based on the Ripple protocol and in November 2015 switched to its own Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), designed by Stanford professor David Mazières. There is no mining or staking: each validator picks the nodes it trusts, and the ledger moves forward when overlapping groups of those nodes agree. Validators earn no rewards, and transactions become final within a few seconds. Validators voted to switch off XLM inflation in October 2019, the SDF burned more than half of all lumens the following month, and Soroban smart contracts went live in February 2024.
The core idea is “anchors”: companies that take in ordinary money and issue matching tokens on the network, such as dollar stablecoins. Those tokens can be swapped on Stellar’s built-in decentralized exchange, with XLM acting as a bridge currency when no direct pair exists. The network also hosts tokenized funds; Franklin Templeton issued one there in 2021. XLM itself pays fees and covers the minimum balance every account must hold. The main difference from XRP is governance: Stellar is steered by a non-profit foundation, while the XRP Ledger is closely tied to the company Ripple.
What it’s used for
- paying fees and the minimum account balance
- cross-border transfers through anchors and stablecoins
- swapping tokens on the built-in decentralized exchange
- tokenized assets and Soroban smart contracts
Risks
- A large share of XLM is held by the SDF and gradually enters circulation through ecosystem programs.
- SCP puts safety ahead of liveness: if enough trusted validators drop out, the network stops, as it did for 67 minutes in May 2019.
- Network usage does not automatically mean demand for XLM: many payments move in stablecoins and anchor tokens, while XLM is spent only on small fees and reserves.

How is Stellar different from XRP?
Both networks were built for cross-border payments and share a co-creator, Jed McCaleb. Stellar is run by the non-profit SDF, uses its own SCP consensus and has supported Soroban smart contracts since 2024, while the XRP Ledger is closely tied to the company Ripple.
Why does a Stellar account need a minimum XLM balance?
Every account must hold a reserve in XLM: currently 1 XLM plus 0.5 XLM for each trustline, offer or extra signer. The reserve keeps the ledger from filling up with empty entries, and it is not lost: you free it by removing entries or merging the account.
