What is Stellar Lumens (XLM)?

Lumen (XLM) is the native cryptocurrency for the Stellar network– an open-source blockchain payment system. Stellar’s native cryptocurrency, XLM, powers the Stellar platform, which is known as a cross-border payment provider. The purpose of Stellar is to connect financial institutions through the blockchain and provide cheap transactions in developing markets. Stellar founded the Stellar Development Foundation in 2014 which is a not-for-profit organisation that supports the growth and developments of the Stellar Network. According to Stellar, the Stellar Development Network aims to “unlock the world’s economic potential by making money more fluid, markets more open, and people more empowered.”

An account must also hold a small stake of Lumen (acts as a bridge currency between tokens on the Stellar network for transferring funds abroad) for every other Stellar token it holds. You have to stake XLM in order to utilise the Stellar platform, as is the case with other Proof-of-Stake platforms. Former Longtime Mozilla CEO Danelle Dixon is currently the CEO and the Executive Director of Stella Lumens (XML). You can buy XLM coin on the Swyftx Australian Cryptocurrency Exchange.
