Stellar

Stellar is an open network that allows money to be moved and stored. When it was released in July 2014, one of its goals was boosting financial inclusion by reaching the world’s unbanked — but soon afterwards, its priorities shifted to helping financial firms connect with one another through blockchain technology. The network’s native token, lumens, serves as a bridge that makes it less expensive to trade assets across borders. All of this aims to challenge existing payment providers, who often charge high fees for a similar service.

The Stellar project was launched in 2014 by Ripple co-founder Jed McCaleb and his partner Joyce Kim. McCaleb left Ripple in 2013 due to disagreements about the project’s vision with fellow co-founders.
