💥 A Brief History of Stellar 💥

The network was established in 2014 by Jed McCaleb, co-founder of Mt. Gox and Ripple, and former lawyer Joyce Kim. Soon after, Stripe's CEO Patrick Collison collaborated with McCaleb and Kim to create the Stellar Development Foundation (SDF), a non-profit institution that supports the development of Stellar.

During the initial coin offering (ICO), the project raised US$39 million and deployed 100 billion lumens (originally called stellars), with an annual inflation rate of 1%.

Stellar was the subject of a contentious token burn in November 2019. Over 50 billion XLM was subject to a burn. That day, about half of the world's XLM supply vanished from the Stellar ledger, resulting in a price explosion that saw the currency increase by more than 25% in only 48 hours.

The platform obtained almost 3 million users in its first year, and its market cap rose to around $15 million.
