Luna aims to make cryptocurrency trading simple, fast and secure. As such, Luna Wallet was designed with these three features in mind. In this article, we will cover the basics of the Luna coin, its technology, and why it may or may not succeed in its mission. Let us begin!
Luna is built on Stellar
Stellar is an open-source and decentralized money exchange protocol. The Stellar platform allows developers to create reliable and affordable services that connect any type of asset to another. Assets in Stellar are issued in fixed amounts, which also makes them divisible. This means that transactions between two parties can occur without worrying about fragmented assets or overpayments when you only need part of the unit. For example, let’s say you want to send your friend a $10 Luna: if you have a full Luna (the smallest unit in which assets can be transferred), all you need is a transaction through the Stellar ledger and your friend will get the full 10 Moon.
How does Stellar Work?
Stellar is an open-source hybrid decentralized blockchain. It is an infrastructure that exists to facilitate value transfers between assets, including payments. With just one integration into the decentralized Stellar network, you will join an open global financial network where all actors, be they individuals, payment networks, or banks, have equal access and economic participation. Assets move seamlessly across borders and borders with ease in near real-time for a fraction of a penny.
Why Stellar?
Stellar is a decentralized platform for building financial products that connect people everywhere. This technology provides a global bridge from any currency to another and allows users to transfer funds quickly, reliably, and at almost no cost. Because it is based on a distributed ledger, Stellar gives people more control over their money compared to centralized systems like banks or PayPal. The best part? It is open-source and freely available to anyone who wants it. Now let’s see how to make use of Stellar…
Stellar Development Foundation (SDF)
To power up your Luna, you’ll need to replace some Lumens with it. Lumens (XLM) is a cryptocurrency-powered by the Stellar blockchain, which is used by organizations and individuals alike to send payments across borders. When buying crypto on an exchange like Binance or Coinbase, Lumens is used as a way to send this money between accounts; Basically, they act as intermediaries that allow transactions between different coins/tokens. Since each transaction incurs a fee, usually just fractions of a cent, it can get expensive if you’re simply converting one token to another.
What are Lumens?
Lumens are part of a digital asset called Lunyr (LUN). Lunyr aims to be an Ethereum-based decentralized global knowledge base that rewards users with application tokens for peer review and information contribution. The more information added to Lunyr, which users then edit, the more LUN tokens will be rewarded. This process is similar to Wikipedia. However, unlike Wikipedia, which is free to access, Lunyr has a subscription model where users pay a monthly fee for access as well as adding and editing privileges. Contributors are also rewarded for their work based on the amount of their contribution and how much it is valued by other users.
Exchange Lumens for Luna
Although you can buy Luna with fiat currency, one of its main uses is as a payment method on e-commerce sites. Whether or not your website accepts cryptocurrencies, it may make sense to start accepting Lumens. This is because even if your customers don’t use it (at least directly), they’ll appreciate being able to pay with an easily convertible currency like Lumens and you won’t have to worry about exchanging your crypto right away. With that, let’s take a look at how to replace Lumens with Luna.
Why the name Luna?
The light from our Moon reflects back to Earth and illuminates everything in its path. In recognition of the moon, we decided it was only appropriate for our coin’s name to reflect itself. We chose Luna because she is feminine and beautiful. Two properties attributed to our favorite orb! The physical design of our token will reflect these same qualities.
Is there an ICO / Token Sale?
Yes, if you want to buy a LUNA device, you will need to participate in our ICO. Our tokens will be available for a limited time and can run out very quickly. Don’t wait for our ICO to end and add the token to the exchange; Place your order directly with us and make sure you don’t miss out!
The decentralized and immutable ledger
Unlike a central database managed by a single entity, such as a government or bank, decentralized ledgers do not have a single point of failure. This means that even if one node crashes or crashes, others can continue to process transactions. A network that maintains trust without the need for proof is known as an untrusted network. Some well-known examples include Bitcoin and Ethereum.
