IBM is actively investing in the Stellar blockchain platform. In 2018, IBM announced cooperation with the Stellar Foundation to create an international payment network based on blockchain technology.

IBM sees huge potential in using the Stellar blockchain to improve the efficiency of international settlements. Stellar's transaction speed is 5 seconds and fees are much lower than traditional international transfers. This will allow you to significantly save on the cost of payments.

In November 2023, the Stellar team introduced the updated Protocol 20, which will be launched in January 2024 and which further improves the characteristics of the network. The main advantages of Protocol 20:

💡Increased performance - the network is now capable of processing up to 10,000 transactions per second. This allows the use of Stellar to scale for large payment systems.

💡Reduced hardware requirements for validators. This makes running Stellar nodes easier.

💡Improved database structure to speed up synchronization and increase network performance.

IBM's investment is a testament to the big tech giant's confidence in the prospects of this platform.
