Trust layer

Security you can verify.

Stellar's open network helps make every transfer transparent, traceable, and protected by design.

Confidence, built into every block.

When you trade or exchange Stellar tokens, ownership stays with your wallet until you authorize a move. No central operator can quietly reverse or rewrite the record.

Publicly auditable ledger
Fast finality and low fees

Federated consensus security

How a transfer works

01
Every transaction is

Every transaction is cryptographically signed by the sender.

02
The Stellar network

The Stellar network reaches agreement through its federated consensus protocol.

03

The transaction is recorded publicly and settles in seconds.

Open rails for a global economy.

Stellar is designed to connect financial systems, so tokens can move between people, businesses, and currencies without unnecessary intermediaries.

Keep your keys safe.

Network security is only one part of the picture. Use a reputable wallet, verify addresses, and never share your secret key or recovery phrase.
