In the Basic Income (ENRA) program of the Marshall Islands, XLM (Stellar Lumens) will be one of the key payment tools. Stellar is a blockchain platform designed to simplify cross-border payments and reduce transaction costs. By launching the Stellar-supported Lomalo digital wallet in the country, the Marshall Islands will be able to use XLM as a tool for payments and fund transfers, giving its national economic system a new layer of digital currency.

How to use XLM in the Marshall Islands:

Each citizen of the Marshall Islands will be assigned a Lomalo digital wallet, through which citizens can receive and manage XLM from the ENRA (Basic Income) program.

1. The Stellar blockchain handles all payments and transfers, making the costs of these transactions very low and processing speeds very fast, which is particularly suitable for small-scale economies like island nations.

   Diversity of payment methods:
   
   In addition to blockchain payments via XLM, the Marshall Islands also offers traditional payment methods such as bank transfers and checks. However, blockchain payments (especially using XLM) are undoubtedly a more efficient and flexible payment channel.

2. Due to Stellar's high throughput and low fees, it is particularly suitable for cross-border payments and micropayments, especially in island nations like the Marshall Islands, where financial service infrastructure may not be as developed as in most countries.

3. Stability of XLM:
   
   A potential challenge of using XLM as a payment currency is its price volatility. Although Stellar is relatively stable compared to other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, as a relatively emerging digital asset, it may still face price fluctuations.

   To address this issue, the Marshall Islands has also launched the USDM1 digital sovereign bond, which is pegged 1:1 to U.S. short-term government bonds, providing some degree of protection against XLM's volatility.

   5. Infrastructure and financial inclusion:
   
   Adopting XLM can help the Marshall Islands improve its financial inclusion, especially in remote areas. As the Stellar network supports low-cost payments and transfers, citizens can easily access the global financial system through the Lomalo wallet.
