Stellar

Stellar is a layer-1 open-source, decentralized, peer-to-peer blockchain network that provides a framework for developers to create applications, issue assets, and connect to existing financial rails. Stellar is designed to enable creators, innovators, and developers to build projects on the network that can interoperate with each other.

There are three main use cases for building on Stellar: building applications, issuing assets, and building anchors. These docs aim first to teach you Stellar fundamentals to help you build, walk you through how to set up for each use case, and then how to run your own Horizon API instance and validator node.
