What is Stellar?

Stellar (XLM) is an open-source blockchain network designed for fast, low-cost cross-border payments and asset tokenization. Founded by Jed McCaleb (co-founder of Ripple), Stellar focuses on connecting financial institutions and making money transfers accessible to the unbanked. Transactions on Stellar settle in 3-5 seconds with fees under $0.01, making it one of the most efficient payment networks available. XLM is the native currency used for transaction fees and as a bridge between different currencies. Exchange XLM on GhostSwap to swap Stellar Lumens for any supported cryptocurrency — fast, private, and without KYC verification.

What is USD Coin Ethereum Chain?

USD Coin (USDC) on Ethereum is a regulated stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar, issued by Circle. Unlike algorithmic stablecoins, USDC is backed by cash and short-term US Treasury bonds, with regular attestations of reserves. USDC is widely used across DeFi protocols for lending, borrowing, and providing liquidity, and is accepted as payment by a growing number of merchants. As an ERC-20 token, USDC benefits from Ethereum's vast ecosystem but incurs gas fees for transfers. Exchange USDC on GhostSwap to move between stablecoin positions and volatile crypto assets privately — no identity verification, no registration, no fuss.
