Crypto’s fastest and most reliable decentralized wallet and exchange just got better.
For the past few months, Fintech Ltd, the team behind Interstellar, has been hard at work creating its largest ever update to the popular crypto platform. Interstellar v2.0 introduces new features our users will love, including semi-automatic asset/token verification, price conversions for any token into all the major fiat currencies in the world, and a whole new set of desktop applications for increased security of a user’s precious assets.

What is Interstellar?

Interstellar is a fast secure crypto wallet and decentralized exchange, powered by the Stellar network. Users can directly deposit, withdraw and trade Stellar Lumens (XLM), Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC). Users can also send, receive or trade any other Stellar based token including Mobius (MOBI), Smartlands (SLT), SureRemit (RMT), Tempo (EURT).

Interstellar takes security very seriously by never storing secret keys on any server. Instead keys are stored locally, encrypted with a password only known to the user. Interstellar now also includes advanced security features like multisig support and support for ledger hardware wallets.

For power users, Interstellar also makes it super easy to work with multiple accounts in the same session.

What’s new in Interstellar v2.0 (Proxima Centauri Update)?

Desktop Apps

Fintech Ltd announced Interstellar for Android a few months ago with a lot of positive reviews and feedback. Today, Fintech Ltd is pleased to introduce Interstellar’s new set of desktop apps. Users can now download and use Interstellar for Windows Desktop, Interstellar For Mac OSX, and an HTLM5 version of Interstellar. Interstellar for Android and desktop were designed from day one to be the fastest, most secure, and most reliable way to access the Stellar network to date.

Even though users can access Interstellar from any modern browser on any operating system, using the android and desktop apps gives users better protection against man-in-the-middle DNS attacks. The desktop and android versions of Interstellar also makes the Interstellar wallet more decentralized and less reliant on Interstellar’s web servers running 24/7. The flagship of the Proxima Centauri Update, our new desktop program allows users to access our decentralized exchange faster than ever before.

Asset Verification

Interstellar provides one of the finest UI and full access to the Stellar Decentralized Exchange. Fintech Ltd is pleased to introduce Interstellar’s new verification system for coins and tokens on the Stellar decentralized exchange. The main entry point into the Interstellar decentralized exchange experience is a list of manually curated trusted assets, which protects users from fraudulent and predatory scams common on other decentralized exchanges. While users can still trade the full spectrum of coins and tokens that the Stellar network has to offer (via our search feature), assets on the Interstellar recommended list are guaranteed to be entirely safe from fraud. Curated by experts and always updated, the Interstellar curated token list serves to help new users stay safe when trading, as well as lowering the level of effort for all users, experienced or not.

Automatic Price Conversions

Fintech is pleased to announce its Interstellar v2.0 (Proxima Centauri update) comes with automatic price conversion to your choice of fiat or crypto. The most interesting thing to note about this feature is that it works on any Stellar based token. This feature is perfect for both high sum investors and casual users alike, providing an instant summary of your holdings into a familiar, intuitive value. With the introduction of this feature, Interstellar users will never have to leave the app to figure out a token’s price again!

Expect more updates soon.
