New Integration: Automate Your Cryptocurrency XLM (Lumens) Transactions with AutoXLM

Thanks to the rising popularity of cryptocurrency over recent years, digital currency is becoming an increasingly acceptable form of payment. But using, managing, and exchanging cryptocurrency can be a steep learning curve, especially without the right tools.

AutoXLM is an app designed to help solve this problem by increasing access to a cryptocurrency called “lumens” (or “XLM” when referring to a single unit). Without going into too much detail, lumens are an asset of the Stellar cryptocurrency network. The relation of the Stellar network to lumens is similar to managing funds with an app like Venmo. Your Venmo account maintains a balance where you can send or receive funds for personal or professional purposes. This is a highly simplified view into how Stellar works in relation to lumens, but hopefully it provides some context.

Until AutoXLM, there hasn't been an easy way for most people to get involved with the Stellar network. By providing a familiar email/password system and simplified design, people with little-to-no cryptocurrency experience can easily get started.

Plus, now that AutoXLM integrates with 1,000+ apps via Zapier, you can incorporate lumen transactions into workflows with apps you’re already using in your day-to-day life––making your use of lumens that much more accessible.
