Real-world use cases for blockchain technology are growing year over year, and they play an essential role in the transition toward a more digitized, cashless society. Stellar is both a cross-currency transaction system and a platform for digital asset issuance, designed to connect the world’s financial infrastructure. The Stellar network enables innovators to build real-world blockchain solutions that create financial access for everyone, everywhere.

We at LOBSTR believe blockchain can improve globalization, especially when high-speed & low-cost payments are combined. The open nature and versatility of the Stellar network make all this possible, allowing companies like ClickPesa to build solutions for their key demographic, Africans.

By working in Kenya, which has one of the most developed financial systems on the African continent, ClickPesa is helping increase financial inclusion by providing Kenyans with access to global markets through the use of Stellar and LOBSTR.

ClickPesa is helping bring older economies into the new age of finance, digitizing the next generation with their array of stablecoins. Since 2021, ClickPesa has allowed Kenyans to deposit Kenyan Shillings (KSh) on Stellar and receive Clickpesa’s Kenyan Shilling-backed stablecoins, KES, in return.

KES takes full advantage of Stellar’s benefits, like near-instant payments and the native Stellar DEX for asset exchange. Each KES token will always equal 1 Kenyan Shilling and are backed by an audited account.
