Lumen Loop's take

Stellar, with over a decade of development, has become a resilient network for cross-border payments and real-world assets, processing billions of transactions and hosting $522 million on-chain. Its first public roadmap focuses on scalability upgrades like 5,000 TPS and 2.5-second ledger times through Soroban enhancements including concurrency and caching. Developer tools such as Freighter wallet, Scaffold Stellar, upgraded Stellar Lab, Quickstart, CLI, and OpenZeppelin contracts lower barriers to building secure apps. AI tools Stella and Contract Copilot aid documentation and smart contract development. The Stellar Community Fund provides funding and support throughout project lifecycles, while infrastructure like SDP and CDP handles enterprise-scale operations. Already proven with $17 billion in volume, Stellar positions itself as a complete platform for RWAs and payments.
