Stellar - the decentralized Ripple

• Stellar is a fork of Ripple, with the goal of becoming a public financial platform that is easy for everyone to access.
• It aims to provide trustworthy financial services for everyone to improve their lives self-reliantly. Sending money is supposed to be as easy and fast as sending emails through the internet.
• Stellar is built like Ripple, but has its own consensus mechanism (SCP). It was specifically concepted for developing countries to enable cross-border exchange of value.
• The network's own token (Lumen (XLM)) will be used as a bridge currency between different currencies to replace the Swift system.
• However, the tokens generated in 2014 are far from widely distributed (just under 20 percent). Over the next 10 years, they are to be issued continuously according to certain criteria.
