Stellar RPC
Stellar Overview
Stellar is a decentralized payment network and blockchain platform designed for fast, low-cost cross-border transactions and asset transfers. The network uses the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP), a federated Byzantine agreement protocol that enables rapid transaction finality without traditional mining. Stellar facilitates multi-currency transactions and asset tokenization through built-in decentralized exchange functionality.
Interacting with Stellar's APIs
Stellar supports REST API methods through Horizon for querying ledger data, account information, and transaction history, plus Soroban JSON-RPC API for smart contract deployment and invocation. Developers can use the Stellar SDK libraries (available in JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, and other languages) or standard HTTP clients to communicate with Stellar nodes.
The Quicknode Stellar documentation is continuously evolving as the network undergoes upgrades and changes, so we highly recommend cross-referencing with the official Stellar documentation for the latest updates and features.
Make Stellar API Calls
The quickest way to start building on Stellar is to create a Quicknode endpoint and send your first API request.
Quicknode provides managed Stellar endpoints, giving you immediate access to Stellar Mainnet and Testnet without the overhead of running infrastructure. These endpoints offer:
- High reliability – globally distributed infrastructure designed to minimize downtime
- Enhanced performance – optimized latency and request handling for production-grade apps
- Integrated ecosystem – additional functionality through specialized APIs (add-ons) on the Quicknode Marketplace and products like Streams
Visit the QuickStart page to create your endpoint and send your first request.
