What is Stellar?

Stellar is an open-source blockchain network founded in 2014 by Jed McCaleb, co-founder of Ripple, designed to facilitate fast and affordable cross-border micropayments. The Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) enables transaction settlement in 3-5 seconds with near-zero fees. Stellar connects financial institutions, payment systems, and individuals, making it particularly effective for remittances and underbanked populations.
