What is Stellar Lumens (XLM)? How to Buy it

Stellar, to put it briefly, is a platform that is customized to ensure the safe, fast and cost-effective transfer of money, enabling it to act reliably and almost inexpensively and integrating payment infrastructures with banks and users. Stellar was launched in 2014 with the same name as the platform. One year later, an update to the Stellar network was called Lumens. Lumens is the crypto currency of the Stellar network.

The Stellar network offers a distributed and global database like Blockchain technology, which is accessible to everyone. You must have the minimum amount of XLM in your wallet in order to trade on the Stellar network. This minimum amount was determined as 0.5XLM (Lumens).
