Unbeknownst to many crypto traders, the Stellar (XLM) decentralized exchange – StellarX – was launched back in July this year. The exchange offers multiple cryptocurrencies from different blockchains as well as having XLM as a base currency. All transactions are on a peer-to-peer level with no middlemen or intermediaries. The Stellar Decentralized exchange allows you to trade from your own wallet and keep total control of your keys and digital assets.

Zero Fees

Stellar X is built on Stellar’s universal order book that further allows all transactions to be fast and free. The exchange goes on to state the following:

Transactions settle in seconds, and trading on StellarX costs nothing. We refund your network fees and we even return Stellar’s automatic 1% APR inflation to our users, keeping none of the weekly airdrops for ourselves.

StellaX will also pay out 100,000 XLM to the exchange’s top market makers each week.

How to Sign Up

Users who want to sign up at the platform, need only provide an email and password. The platform has a unique feature that lets you know if your password is strong enough. It does this by informing the user know how long it would take to crack the password. Once you sign up, a verification email is sent to the user’s inbox.

Once you click on the verification link in your email, you are asked to enter your password after which you are asked for your preferred currency to track values on the exchange. The platform then provides a passphrase for you to either memorize or store. This passphrase will be used to recover your account if your password is lost.
