Stellar is an Open Source, Distributed Payments Structure

Stellar is a complex distributed system that enables financial transactions that resolve in approximately 3-5 seconds. It operates on what's known as the federated Byzantine Agreement, which differs from the way Bitcoin and Ethereum Blockchains work. This method of consensus was created by Professor David Mazieres.

 ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Typical proof-of-work blockchains (Bitcoin, Ethereum) require a vast amount of energy to verify or “mine” transactions. Warehouses of Bitcoin mining rigs run 24 hours a day, consuming more power than the whole of Argentina. When all other cryptocurrencies that require mining are factored in, the electrical drain is absolutely mind boggling. 

The Monetran system has been built on the Stellar Network, which utilizes a Federated Byzantine Agreement to reach consensus, thereby eliminating the need for mining. No matter how popular Moneda gets, it will not waste a single watt of one of the world’s most precious resources.
