How the Stellar Network Grew
summary
2021 on Stellar centers on concrete wins: Circle’s stellar usdc goes live and sparks integrations (exchanges, wallets, MoneyGram pilot for near‑instant cross‑border cash in/out), Horizon 2.0 delivers measurable API performance gains, and Protocol 18 adds AMMs to democratize liquidity; the SDF commits $65M+ via an enterprise fund to eight startups, launches matching and R&D grant streams, runs 70 university events for 10,000 students, and reports Stellar Quest growth (≈2,700 accounts, 18,000 badges); an April validator outage proves the network continues operating.
