Stellar is an open-source protocol for exchanging money using blockchain technology. The platform's source code is hosted on Github. The Stellar network can quickly exchange government-based currencies with 2 to 5 second processing times. The platform is a distributed ledger maintained by a consensus algorithm, which allows for decentralized control, flexible trust, low latency, and asymptotic security



Pros
  • Stellar is not simple blockchain - it is decentralized protocol for digital currency to fiat currency transfers which allows cross-border transactions between any pair of currencies. The Stellar network has been used by companies such as IBM, KlickEx, Deloitte and many others.
Cons
  • It is not entirely decentralised.It is a long-term hold, not something to day-trade or hold for a month.
