Stellar Core

Stellar-core is a replicated state machine that maintains a local copy of a cryptographic ledger and processes transactions against it, in consensus with a set of peers. It implements the Stellar Consensus Protocol, a federated consensus protocol. It is written in C++20 and runs on Linux, OSX and Windows. Learn more by reading the overview document.

Documentation

Documentation of the code's layout and abstractions, as well as for the functionality available, can be found in ./docs.
