Stellar RPC

With Quicknode, you get access to our global Stellar network which always routes your API requests to the nearest available location, ensuring low latency and the fastest speeds.

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 the Stellar 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:


  • Hoge betrouwbaarheid – een wereldwijd verspreide infrastructuur die is ontworpen om uitvaltijd tot een minimum te beperken
  • Verbeterde prestaties – geoptimaliseerde latentie en verwerking van verzoeken voor applicaties op productieniveau
  • Integrated ecosystem – additional functionality through Quicknode add-ons and products like Streams
