Stellar Lumens XLM

Stellar is a decentralized "open-source" technology that aims to facilitate payments and transactions. Stellar shares a similar concept as Ripple.

Both networks aim to connect with financial institutions to reduce the time and cost of transactions globally.
Yet unlike Ripple, which is more focused on working with banks, Stellar is more focused on emerging markets and wider application.

Stellar operates in a similar way as other decentralized platforms for transactions and payments. Stellar has its own network with a ledger that is updated every 2-5 seconds.

The Stellar blockchain also has its own cryptocurrency Stellar Lumens - XLM.

At the time of writing, there are around 23 billion Stellar Lumens - XLM coins in ciruculation. The maximum number of XLM coins is 50,001,806,812 XLM coins.

The goal of Stellar Lumens is to provide people with an easy way to convert fiat currencies into cryptocurrencies and to remove barriers to make transactions anywhere in the world.

The advantages of Stellar Lumens therefore manifest in:

Unlike other cryptocurrencies, the XLM coin can’t be mined. Also, an XLM coin can’t be awarded to someone. At the time of the launch of the Stellar network, 100 billion XLMs were created.

During the first 5 years, the number of Stellar Lumens increased by 1% per year. By the decision of the whole community, the 1% annual growth mechanism was removed. In 2019, the total number of XLM coins will be reduced to 50 billion and no new XLM will be created.

Jed Mccaleb and Joyce Kim founded Stellar in 2013 after they left Ripple due to disagreements over the future direction of Ripple.
