About StellarX

StellarX is the first full-featured trading app for Stellar’s universal marketplace. It was created by a team with deep user-friendly building experience and showcases a wide selection of assets: crypto, fiat tethers, and more.

1. Is StellarX an exchange like Poloniex or Coinbase Pro?

No. We don’t hold anyone’s assets or secret keys, and we don’t maintain order books or have our own trading system. We’re an interface for the open marketplace that the Stellar network independently maintains and exposes to the public.

We’re built on Stellar because it’s fast, and it’s able to bring disjoint economies (and blockchains) into a single system—StellarX lets you live the inter-chain dream of swapping your Argentinian Pesos for Litecoin for lumens, and all of those trades settle in seconds.

As an added bonus the Stellar network fees are so low we can refund them out of pocket—so trading on StellarX is totally free.

2. Is StellarX a decentralized exchange?

Nope. StellarX doesn’t have order books or its own trading system. Although StellarX might feel a lot like a DEX, because you’re trading from your own wallet and all your actions are settled on-chain, StellarX isn’t an exchange of any kind. We’re essentially a GUI—a really nice one—for the publicly-accessible Stellar trading environment. Stellar is so fast that it feels like we must be settling things ourselves, but we’re not.

3. How much does StellarX cost?

StellarX is free. The Stellar network charges a flat per-transaction fee as an anti-spam measure, but the fee is so low (0.00001 XLM) that we refund it out-of-pocket for every trade made on StellarX. Network fee refunds are bundled into a single payment and issued each week.

4. What assets are available on StellarX?

StellarX is a transparent client for Stellar, so we let our users access any asset on the network. We are just an interface for the publicly accessible Stellar marketplace, where anyone can issue a token. Among our tokens, you’ll find tethers for off-chain assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dollars, Mexican Pesos, and Brazilian Reals; you’ll find Stellar-native coins like XRP; and of course you’ll find the network token, lumens (XLM).

5. How does my token get listed on StellarX?

Unfortunately, StellarX is temporarily not accepting application forms for token listing.
 
Please note that some of the factors that are taken into account when listing new assets on StellarX are legality, security, the number of people who have the trustline to the asset, the quality of the project and the website, trade volume, market dynamics and a variety of other factors related to the project. 

6. What’s the relationship between Stellar and StellarX?

StellarX is a third-party client built on top of Stellar’s open marketplace. StellarX is a trademark of the Stellar Development Foundation and is operated by an independent commercial entity unaffiliated with the Stellar Development Foundation.

Please note, that StellarX doesn't vet or vouch for assets. We are an interface for the publicly accessible Stellar marketplace, where anyone can issue a token. All the information we display about an asset is provided by the issuer, so it may be incomplete, or even inaccurate.
