Stellar Documentation and API Reference

Welcome to the official home repository for Documentation for the Stellar network.

If you're here for the Deep Dive Docs Bounty, please navigate to the bottom of this page for all relevant information: Deep Dive Docs Bounty.

Contributing

Contributions are more than welcome! Thank you! 🎉

Before diving in, please read our Stellar Contribution Guide for details on contributing to Stellar's various repositories. Please take special note of the code of conduct.

Our documentation site is built using Docusaurus. The content is written in MDX, which adds a lot of cool possibilities. Even if you're unfamiliar with plain markdown, do not fear! You can still contribute in a helpful and meaningful way. Markdown is super easy to learn, and will come quite naturally after only a bit of practice. You can always help fix typos, spelling, and broken links, too.

You can contribute to the docs in several ways:

No matter what you contribute, whether a PR or an issue, you can expect to receive a response from docs maintainers within one week.

If you have questions, feel free to ask in the Stellar Developer Discord.

Quick Start

Open in GitHub Codespaces Open in Gitpod

Prerequisites

To begin development on the documentation, you will first need to install the following:

Development

Once all the prerequisites have been installed, you can run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/stellar/stellar-docs
cd stellar-docs
yarn install
npx docusaurus start

This will begin the development server, and open a browser window/tab pointing to http://localhost:3000/docs/. This development server will auto-reload when it detects changes to the repository.

After you've made your changes, use the following commands to ensure the consistent MDX file formatting and style across the repository:

npm run check:mdx # this will search for problems in the MDX files
npm run format:mdx # this will fix any problems that were found

Using Markdown

Markdown Basics

If you're unfamiliar with Markdown, there are loads of good tutorials and cheat sheets out there. Check out some of these resources to get a handle on the basics:

Custom Markdown

Our repository uses some custom React components that can be used inside the MDX documents. Use them as follows:

Make sure that there is an empty line within the wrapper. For example,

<Alert>
<!-- EMPTY LINE AFTER THE COMPONENT'S OPENING TAG IS REQUIRED -->

Note: the testnet is reset every three months, so when building on it, make sure you have a plan to recreate necessary accounts and other data. For more info, check out the [best practices for using the testnet](../../learn/fundamentals/networks.mdx).

<!-- EMPTY LINE BEFORE THE COMPONENT'S CLOSING TAG IS REQUIRED -->
</Alert>

Alert

Testnet reset alert

<Alert /> is used to convey hints, warnings, etc. For example, Build a SEP-31 Anchor on Testnet

import { Alert } from "@site/src/components/Alert";

<Alert>

Note: the testnet is reset every three months, so when building on it, make sure you have a plan to recreate necessary accounts and other data. For more info, check out the [best practices for using the testnet](../../fundamentals-and-concepts/testnet-and-pubnet).

</Alert>

Code Example

Create account code example

<CodeExample /> is a code snippet component. You can include snippets for more than one language. See an example including a snippet for JavaScript and Python below. It is using Prism React Renderer for syntax highlighting.

import { CodeExample } from "@site/src/components/CodeExample";

<CodeExample>

```js
// create a completely new and unique pair of keys
// see more about KeyPair objects: https://stellar.github.io/js-stellar-sdk/Keypair.html
const pair = StellarSdk.Keypair.random();

pair.secret();
// SAV76USXIJOBMEQXPANUOQM6F5LIOTLPDIDVRJBFFE2MDJXG24TAPUU7
pair.publicKey();
// GCFXHS4GXL6BVUCXBWXGTITROWLVYXQKQLF4YH5O5JT3YZXCYPAFBJZB
# stellar-sdk >= 2.0.0 required
# create a completely new and unique pair of keys
# see more about KeyPair objects: https://stellar-sdk.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#keypair
from stellar_sdk import Keypair

pair = Keypair.random()
print(f"Secret: {pair.secret}")
# Secret: SCMDRX7A7OVRPAGXLUVRNIYTWBLCS54OV7UH2TF5URSG4B4JQMUADCYU
print(f"Public Key: {pair.public_key}")
# Public Key: GAG7SXULMNWCW6LX42JKZOZRA2JJXQT23LYY32OXA6XECUQG7RZTQJHO

Welcome to the Deep Dive Docs Bounty 🐙!

If you’re here to participate in the Deep Dive Docs Bounty (it’s rid-doc-ulous!), you’ve come to the right place!

Between May 29th and August 7th, 2024, you can earn awards for contributing to and creating content for Stellar Developer Documentation. The goal of this bounty is to encourage the community to contribute to Stellar projects and to help create a best-in-class developer experience by improving Stellar developer documentation.

Each submission can earn awards between $100 and $1,000 worth of XLM, depending on the complexity of the individual issue and the quality of the submission. More on award allocation is below.

Submission process

If you haven't already, check out the Stellar docs to get oriented! When you’re ready to get started, follow these instructions:

We will review your submission within three weeks and reply on your submission thread to let you know if your submission qualifies to earn an award! If so, we will ask you to complete a form to collect the info necessary to validate and deliver an award.

If your submission did not qualify, we may provide you with feedback on what's missing or on how you can improve your submission so it qualifies. Once you have made the requested revisions, we will re-review your submission and let you know if your updated submission qualifies for an award.

What makes a good submission

The Stellar Development Foundation (“SDF”) will review submissions as they come in, and all Deep Dive Docs Bounty awards are contingent upon the review and approval of the submission by SDF at its sole discretion.

Your submission should adequately solve its corresponding issue. Each issue will include the amount of XLM it’s worth based on its complexity and say, “Get up to $__ worth of XLM for this issue.” Exact awards are then based on the quality of the submission (is it well-written, well-crafted, and easy to follow?) and thoroughness (is it comprehensive and well-documented?).

Here are some existing guides to help you get an idea of what we’re looking for:

Note: SDF is under no obligation to make any awards if there are no eligible submissions or Eligible Individuals (as defined below) or if Eligible Individuals do not successfully complete the compliance and tax obligations set forth below.

Deep Dive Docs Bounty Eligibility Guidelines

Submission Guidelines

Award Eligibility Guidelines

While anyone may make a submission, only Eligible Individuals will be considered for XLM awards. For purposes of Deep Dive Docs Bounty, an “Eligible Individual'' is a natural person who:

  1. Is 18 years of age or older;
  2. Is not an individual on the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List or otherwise under sanction by OFAC (or an immediate family member - spouses, parent, child, sibling, grandparent, and “step” child - of such individual) or be employed by or affiliated with an entity sanctioned by OFAC;
  3. Is not a resident of any country, state, province or territory subject to comprehensive OFAC sanctions, including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria or any Russian-controlled region of Ukraine; and
  4. Does not reside in a jurisdiction where the transfer and holding of cryptocurrency is illegal or would require a special license or authorization that the such person does not possess.

SDF reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to disqualify any participant or submission, without warning, from Deep Dive Docs Bounty, and to ban them from future programs funded by the Soroban adoption fund if they act in a way that violates these guidelines, is inappropriate, or not in the best interests or spirit of the program.

License to Submissions

By posting a submission, you will be granting to SDF and its assigns, licensees, and successors a royalty-free, irrevocable, non-exclusive and unlimited right and permission to use your submission, name, picture, statements, project name, likeness, and voice, and any material based thereon or derived therefrom (collectively, the “Content”), in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, and to use, edit, modify, duplicate, distribute, publish, publicize and/or create derivative works from the Content (or any portion thereof), throughout the world, in perpetuity, without limitation and without payment of any royalties or compensation, consideration, notice or permission, except where prohibited by law, for the purpose of creating educational, informational, and promotional materials or creative assets (any such materials or assets that feature the Content are referred to herein as “Assets”), including, without limitation, on social media, or on any website owned or affiliated with SDF. You will have no right of approval, no claim to any compensation, and no claim arising out of the use, alteration, or distortion or use in any composite form of the Content.

Legal Terms and Acknowledgements

Deep Dive Docs Bounty is governed by the SDF Terms of Service and the guidelines described herein (the “Deep Dive Docs Bounty Eligibility Guidelines”). SDF may collect personal information from you in connection with your submission, and such information is subject to the SDF Privacy Policy. SDF reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel, suspend and/or modify all or any part of Deep Dive Docs Bounty at any time for any reason. The terms and conditions of Deep Dive Docs Bounty are subject to change at any time, including the rights or obligations of the Participants and SDF.

XLM is a highly risky and volatile asset, and SDF does not provide any representations, warranties, or guarantees of its value. You will be required to provide certain information to facilitate receipt of any XLM award, including completing and submitting any tax or other forms necessary for compliance with applicable withholding and reporting requirements. You are responsible for reporting the receipt of any XLM award to relevant government departments or agencies, where applicable, and paying all applicable taxes in your jurisdiction of residence. SDF reserves the right to withhold a portion of any award amount to comply with the tax laws of the United States or other relevant jurisdictions. You should inform yourself as to any legal and tax requirements or consequences applicable to you in respect of the acquisition, holding, and disposition of XLM. You are also responsible for complying with any applicable foreign exchange and banking regulations relating to any XLM award received hereunder.

To determine the number of XLM equal to the USD value of any Award, the USD valuation of XLM shall be calculated using the CF Stellar Lumens-Dollar Settlement Price as administered, maintained, and reported by the cryptocurrency index provider CF Benchmarks Ltd. (using the ticker “XLMUSD_RR”) (available at https://www.cfbenchmarks.com/indices/XLMUSD_RR), or, if such settlement price is unavailable or reasonably suspected by SDF to be unreliable, the settlement price as reported on a substantially similar and equally reputable cryptocurrency index provider as determined by the SDF in its discretion. The USD valuation of XLM for any particular Award shall be calculated using the CF Stellar Lumens-Dollar Settlement Price (or other agreed upon settlement price) reported on the day such Award is scheduled to be paid. The Participants acknowledge and understand that XLM is a highly risky and volatile asset, and that SDF does not provide any representations, warranties, or guarantees of its value.

SDF’s failure to enforce any of these terms or guidelines shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. Should any provision of these Sorobanathon Eligibility Guidelines be or become illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction whose laws or regulations may apply to a participant or submission, such illegality or unenforceability shall leave the remainder of these Sorobanathon Eligibility Guidelines to the fullest extent permitted by law, unaffected and valid. The illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a valid and enforceable provision that comes closest and best reflects the SDF’s intention in a legal and enforceable manner with respect to the invalid or unenforceable provision.
