Launching the First Stellar Federation Service

Today we are happy to announce the launch the BETA of the world's first community-focused Stellar federation service that is 100% free to use, Superlumen.

What's a Federation Service?

The federation service makes your Stellar account ID accessible and user-friendly. Supporting wallets will automatically resolve your custom Superlumen address to your Stellar Account ID.



For example, instead of sending Stellar assets to:

GCPKGZKZHEBQNQRH2HTNJKRDAZDGCNQAFVYR27U6MJ67PLMSCFCET6B6

you can send to:

{your-alias}*superlumen.org

Where "{your-alias}" is the name you are able to claim.



We also decided to add a bit of spice to the game. Once you've claimed your alias, it'll work on all of the following domains, allowing you to choose an address that best fits the transaction:

For everything:

*superlumen.org

*superlumen.cash

*superlumen.exchange

*superlumen.money

For raising money:

*superlumen.tips

*superlumen.gratis

*superlumen.gift(s)

*superlumen.help

For fun:

*superlumen.vote

*superlumen.lol

*superlumen.fail

*superlumen.love

This name resolution works for any Stellar network: Test, Live, or a custom network such as a business internal setup.

Security

Security is our #1 concern. Without going into much detail, we can say that we are taking every step we can to ensure a secure and quality experience for all participants. However, this is a BETA release, we may discover vulnerabilities or weaknesses during the course of the BETA that must be addressed.

Like most things, there is an element of risk using this service. ALWAYS be sure to have the sender confirm the address resolved from your alias is accurate. Never give away your password. We will be launching additional security measures over the next few months, including 2-factor authentication. Although this service works on any Stellar network (live, test, etc.), we recommend using it only for test until the BETA is complete.

Improvements

Trust us - there's a lot more coming!

ICO Announcement

In addition to launching Stellar's first community federation service, we are launching an official Superlumen (SLM) FREE ICO on March 1st. Superlumens are a new token (Stellar Asset) for the Stellar Distributed Exchange that are used by our team to indicate community interest in particular features, products, and services offered or planned by our organization, similar to "liking" a post on social media. They will allow you to "vote" for features and projects that are part of our project initiative agenda.
