Stellar Lumens (guide): what it is, how it works.
Stellar is an open source infrastructure for distributed payments. The idea behind Stellar is to be a decentralized platform that will help connect people, payment systems and banks, enabling the transfer of funds quickly, reliably and for very low fees.
Stellar's recent partnership with an IBM has increased its value exponentially. There are many people and investors who are taking an interest in this cryptocurrency.Stellar is an open source network for currencies and payments. Stellar makes it easy to create, send and exchange digital representations of all forms of money - dollars, pesos, bitcoins, just about anything. It is designed so that all of the world's financial systems can work together on a single network

Stellar network overview
Using the Stellar network, you can build mobile wallets, banking tools, smart devices that pay for themselves, and anything else you can imagine that involves payments! Even though Stellar is a complex distributed system, working with it doesn't have to be difficult
Stellar consensus protocol
The Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP) provides a way to achieve consensus without relying on a closed system to accurately record financial transactions. SCP has a number of demonstrable security properties that optimize for security on liveliness: in case of partition nodes or misbehaving, it stops the progress of the network until consensus is reached. SCP enjoys four key properties simultaneously: decentralized control, low latency, flexible reliability, and asymptotic security
Distributed exchange
In addition to supporting issuing and moving assets, the Stellar network also acts as a decentralized distributed exchange of any type of asset that people have added to the network. The ledger stores both the balances held by user accounts and the offers that user accounts make to buy or sell assets
Custom resources
To deploy a custom asset or token on the stellar network, three unique accounts will be used. First, it is the source account. The source account is the account of the principal who wants to create a new token. The second is the issuing account. The issuing account is created by the source account as a mechanism for creating new tokens. The third account is the distribution account. The goal of the distribution account is to serve as a mechanism for distributing tokens to the public.
Most of the stellar documentation focuses on financial institutions as anchors. An anchor is an entity that acts as a bridge between existing currencies and the stellar network and involves the creation of systems such as a compliance server and a bridge server. It is not necessary to become an anchor to create custom assets and tokens on the stellar network.
Below is a breakdown of the transactions required to create a custom token. Transactions can be translated into API requests or can be performed using Stellar Laboratory.
