About Stellar Lumens

The premise of Stellar Lumens is “a worldwide financial network open to anyone.” They want to achieve this by connecting end-users, banks and payment systems with each other. By connecting these systems, Stellar Lumens wants to make monetary transactions fast, secure, reliable and inexpensive. Stellar is one of the longer running blockchains with its origins dating back to early 2014.

XLM Facts

  • In 2015, the currency itself was renamed from Stellar to Lumens. The network on which it functions is still called Stellar.
  • The Stellar network requires all wallets to hold a minimum balance of 1 lumens. This is to prevent people from opening multiple wallets and spamming the network. In other words, the first XLM in a Stellar Lumens wallet cannot be spent and will remain on that private key. 
  • Stellar Lumens is one of the faster cryptocurrencies with transaction speeds pending between 2 and 5 seconds. At the moment, the platform is capable of handling 1000 to 2000 transactions per second.
  • The Stellar network has a built-in, fixed, nominal inflation mechanism. New lumens are added to the network at the rate of 1% each year.
  • XLM can be stored on the Ledger Nano S. We have also created an overview of XLM wallets that we recommend. You can view them here.
