What is Stellar?
Stellar is a blockchain network for payments, issued assets and smart contracts. Its native asset, the lumen (XLM), pays network fees and supports account reserves. The nonprofit Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), founded in 2014, supports the network's development.
Stellar uses the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), in which validators choose trusted participants and agreement thresholds. It does not use mining or proof-of-stake, and the protocol does not pay validators a monetary reward.
Stellar features
- Network fees: the minimum inclusion fee is 100 stroops, or 0.00001 XLM, per operation. Congestion can increase it; contract transactions also incur resource fees. This is not a fixed total fee or a dollar amount.
- Account reserves: a standard account requires two base reserves. The published base reserve is 0.5 XLM, but validator decisions, additional entries and sponsorship can change the amount an account needs.
- Issued assets and exchange: issuers define assets and may enable authorization or clawback controls. Stellar's exchange and payment paths can convert assets when suitable liquidity exists; redemption also depends on the issuer or service.
- Soroban contracts: smart contracts run on Stellar using a WebAssembly environment, with Rust tooling. Their resource use and fees are metered; being on Stellar does not eliminate contract bugs or execution limits.
Uses of Stellar
- Send XLM or issued assets and pay network fees. Converting between assets requires available offers or pool liquidity.
- Connect cash or bank money with digital assets through anchor services. Supported countries, identity checks and redemption terms depend on the provider.
- Build applications with Soroban or issue tokens with defined permissions. MoneyGram's 2021 partnership with SDF is a historical example of linking cash services and digital assets.
XLM supply and utility
Initial supply

SCP
Network fees
Variable, paid in XLM
Standard account reserve
Two base reserves
- Total supply
- Stellar began with 100 billion XLM. Historical inflation added tokens before it ended in 2019, and a large burn later that year reduced total supply to about 50 billion. Total supply and circulating supply are different measures.
- Circulating supply
- Stellar defines circulating supply as total supply minus the SDF Mandate balance, the upgrade reserve and the fee pool. These balances change; a circulating figure therefore needs a dated source.
- XLM utility
- XLM pays transaction fees and contract resource costs, and is held to meet required reserves. Issued assets are separate from XLM, and holding XLM does not automatically grant ownership of an issuer or a right to its revenue.
- Inflation
- Protocol inflation ended on 28 October 2019. It was not a reward for SCP validators. Transaction fees accumulate in the fee pool rather than being paid to validators.

Nov 2019
Stellar launched in 2014 and gained prominence through its partnership with IBM for cross-border payments. XLM reached its all-time high in January 2018 during the crypto boom. After years of quiet development, Stellar saw renewed interest in 2024-2025 driven by real-world payment adoption and CBDC pilot programs.
Frequently asked questions
How is Stellar different from Ripple?
While both focus on payments and share a technical lineage, Stellar targets individuals, remittance users, and smaller institutions through an open-source, non-profit model stewarded by the Stellar Development Foundation. Ripple (XRP) is a for-profit company focused on selling enterprise software to large banks and payment providers. Stellar's founder Jed McCaleb co-founded both projects before leaving Ripple in 2013 to launch Stellar.
What is Stellar's relationship with MoneyGram?
MoneyGram and SDF announced a commercial partnership in October 2021 to connect cash services with digital assets. SDF later made a minority investment in MoneyGram; this was not a majority acquisition in 2021. Service availability and terms depend on the provider and country.
Can you earn yield on XLM?
XLM does not have traditional proof-of-stake staking because Stellar uses federated Byzantine consensus rather than PoS. However, holders can earn yield by providing liquidity on the built-in DEX, depositing into Soroban AMMs and lending protocols like Blend, or using centralized earn products. Yields vary with market conditions, so always verify current rates.
What real-world use cases does Stellar have?
Stellar powers MoneyGram Access for global cash-to-crypto remittances, hosts native USDC issued by Circle, and was selected by Ukraine for its e-hryvnia CBDC pilot. Franklin Templeton runs a tokenized U.S. Government Money Fund on Stellar, and UNHCR has used the network to distribute humanitarian aid to displaced Ukrainians.
What drives the value of Stellar (XLM), and what are its risks?
XLM's investment case rests on real-world payment adoption, stablecoin volume, and CBDC partnerships rather than speculative narratives, but cryptocurrency remains highly volatile and regulatory risk is significant. The token has traded well below its 2018 all-time high for years, which some view as value and others as a sign of stagnation. Always do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.
Will XLM reach $1?
No one can reliably predict future prices, and we do not publish price targets. XLM's all-time high, set in January 2018, is shown in the market data above, and reaching $1 would require significant market-cap expansion alongside broader crypto market strength. Treat any confident prediction you see online with skepticism and base decisions on fundamentals and risk tolerance.
