The project is particularly focused on serving unbanked or underbanked regions of the world where access to traditional financial services is either nonexistent or prohibitively costly.<\/p>\n<p>Stellar\u2019s Protocol 15 upgrade<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stellar.org\/blog\/protocol-14-improvements\"> includes<\/a> two new components designed to enhance user experience while retaining a defense against \u201cfarm attacks\u201d and other methods in which bad actors may try to subvert the purpose of the network. A farm attack is where multiple accounts are created by an entity with the aim of harvesting the small amounts of funds sent to those accounts by service providers which are required to activate the account. <\/p>\n<p>According to Stellar\u2019s official blog, the Protocol 15 features have been in development for over a year and address some of the \u201cbiggest pain points\u201d for developers when building apps and services for customers on Stellar.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After the upgrade, developers can create simpler, better user experiences that abstract away the complexity of blockchain, and do it without losing any of the advantages of a fast, cheap, and permissionless public ledger.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Stellar has also just announced a<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stellar.org\/blog\/making-cross-border-b2b-payments-easier-in-east-africa-with-clickpesa\"> partnership<\/a> with East African business-to-business payment platform provider ClickPesa, which serves six countries in the region. According to Stellar\u2019s blog post, ClickPesa was motivated to use Stellar upon recognizing an \u201copportunity to reduce the friction inherent to intra-African cross-border payments and P2P payment activity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In October, Stellar announced that stablecoin USDC would be hosted on its blockchain at some point in 2021, furthering its mission of simplifying cross-border money transfers. Stellar Lumens\u2019 extremely low transaction fees and 4-5 second settlement times are among its top selling points as a cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
