About Stellar Development Foundation
Stellar Development Foundation focuses on creating an open financial platform that allows users to send, save, and receive money with low fees. The platform uses blockchain technology to ensure that transactions are secure and transparent. Unlike many traditional financial services, Stellar aims to make financial access available to everyone, including individuals and businesses, regardless of their location. The foundation generates revenue through transaction fees and partnerships with financial institutions, which helps support its mission of promoting financial inclusion and reducing barriers to accessing financial services.
