Frequently asked questions

What is Stellar used for?
Stellar is built for moving money: payments, remittances, asset issuance, and currency exchange. It settles transactions in about five seconds for fractions of a cent, and hosts regulated assets like USDC through anchors.
What is the difference between Stellar and Ethereum?
Ethereum is a general-purpose world computer; Stellar is purpose-built for payments and asset issuance. Stellar has faster finality, near-zero fees, built-in DEX and path payments, and Soroban for smart contracts where custom logic is needed.
What is Soroban?
Soroban is Stellar’s smart contracts platform. Contracts are written in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly, enabling programmable DeFi, tokens, and custom payment logic on Stellar.
How do I start learning Stellar development?
Begin with the free Basic Concepts course to learn accounts, assets, and transactions, then move to the Stellar Network Development masterclass for hands-on Horizon, anchors, and Soroban work.
