# Stellar **Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/stellar/ **APIs profiled:** 33 Stellar is an open-source, decentralized blockchain network designed for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and asset issuance. The Stellar Development Foundation (SDF) maintains the core protocol and the Horizon REST API, which provides HTTP access to ledger data including accounts, transactions, operations, effects, offers, trades, claimable balances, and liquidity pools. Horizon is the primary data gateway for the Stellar network, re-serving ledger data in a developer-friendly format. The network supports native XLM transfers, custom asset issuance, a built-in decentralized exchange (DEX), Soroban smart contracts, and anchor integrations for fiat on/off-ramps. Authentication is not required for read queries; transaction submission requires signing with a Stellar keypair. ## Kin Score — 43.0 / 100 (developing) Scored 2026-08-25 under rubric 0.14.0.
