What is Stellar ?

To learn more about XLM, we should take a deeper look at the Stellar network. Stellar is an open-source and decentralized network for digital currency that was created in 2014. Its process is so similar to ripple (XRP). While Ripple focuses on providing a solution for transfers between banks globally, Stellar aims to facilitate payments between people around the world. But the working method of both is almost the same. Stellar is a fast and cheap network, every transaction on this network is done in 6 seconds and will have a low fee of 0.0001 USD.

What is XLM ?

The cryptocurrency that is used on this network is called Lumen, which is shown by the XLM abbreviation. Therefore, Stellar, Lumen, and XLM are the same but they may be used interchangeably. As mentioned, Stellar is a decentralized network and doesn’t work on a blockchain like Bitcoin. Hence, XLM (Lumen) is not minable like blockchain crypto. There are 100 billion XLM coins premade on the Stellar network that will be released gradually to the market. Therefore, people can buy and sell this crypto faster than other coins.
