Stellar is a layer-1 built for cross-border payments and stablecoin issuance.

What is Stellar?
Stellar is a payments-focused layer-1 with three-to-five-second settlement and fractional-cent fees. Anchors issue fiat-backed assets like USDC, while users send remittances, swap on Soroswap, and run smart contracts through the Soroban runtime. The Stellar Disbursement Platform powers bulk payouts for NGOs and fintechs across more than a hundred countries.
