Goals for 2018
Goal #1: SDEX – the Stellar Decentralized Exchange
At the end of 2017 we recruited a veteran team, with a substantial track record of product and marketing success, to build a front-end for Stellar’s inherent decentralized exchange. SDEX is the working name for the project, and internal prototypes are underway. We’ll reveal further details on SDEX’s specific roadmap, brand, and leadership in the near future.
Goal #2: Lightning Network on Stellar
Technology has always been the strongest part of the Stellar story, and we will make it even stronger in 2018. We’ve noted the market demand for more private channel transactions on Stellar, and we will integrate Lightning in 2018. For those of you unfamiliar with the tech, this Vicepiece is a decent introduction: WTF is the Lightning Network and Will It Save Bitcoin? Of course, unlike Bitcoin, Stellar doesn’t need “saving” . . . we’re just going from a good place to an even better one.
Summary
Stellar has a big goals for 2018 and each of them will help it to grow in market. Also they have a great team, but it will be hard for them to compete with Ripple. By the way Stellar will grow and could become $2 at the end of 2018.
