About Stellar
Stellar is designed specifically to make cross-border payments fast, cheap, and accessible. It connects people, banks, and payment systems to move money internationally without the high fees and delays of traditional transfers.
It's built for financial inclusion, reaching people who lack access to banking or who pay excessive fees for international payments. You can send value across different currencies quickly and affordably. The network operates transparently on a public ledger, creating a more open and efficient system for global payments.
- Description
- Stellar is a decentralized payment network optimized for cross-border transactions and tokenized assets. It uses a federated consensus mechanism (Stellar Consensus Protocol) that is fast, low-cost, and energy-efficient. XLM serves as the native token, facilitating transactions and preventing spam.
- DLT Network

- Time/confirmations until irreversible
- Approximately 5 seconds for finality (transactions are confirmed near-instantly on the network)
- Whitepaper
No white paper is required under MiCAR, as there is no offer of XLM to the public (considering this is an old token which has been in circulation for several years). Should there be an offer, no white paper is required under MiCAR as there is no identifiable issuer.
Nevertheless, a white paper has been published by CASP LCX AG and Crypto Risk Metrics GmbH, as included in ESMA's interim register for White papers for crypto-assets other than ART and EMT. This white paper is however published in relation to admission to trading of crypto-asset.
