How to Buy and Sell REAL8 on the Stellar Platform

Every Stellar account has a keypair consisting of a public key and a secret key.
The public key is always safe to share — other people need it to identify your account and verify that you authorized a transaction. It’s like an email address.
For example, $REAL8’s public key which helps you identify our issuer account is:
GBVYYQ7XXRZW6ZCNNCL2X2THNPQ6IM4O47HAA25JTAG7Z3CXJCQ3W4CD
The secret key however, is private information that proves you own — and gives you access to — your account. It’s like a password, and you must never lose it, nor share it with anyone.

On the Stellar network, every account must be “activated” with a minimum XLM balance, known as the base reserve. As of January 2025, this base reserve represents only a small amount of approximately $1. Think of it as a security deposit that remains in your account.

When you want to buy $REAL8 on Stellar an additional 0.5 XLM per asset is required (approximately $0.20 as of January 2025). This clever system serves two purposes: it prevents spam on the network by making the creation of endless empty accounts costly, and it ensures that every account has the resources needed to process transactions.

This requirement is unique to Stellar and reflects its design philosophy of being both accessible (low cost) and secure (resistant to spam). It is fundamentally different from networks like Ethereum or Solana, which struggle with congestion, spam, and fraudulent operations.

In summary, to operate with REAL8, a Stellar-based cryptocoin, you’ll need an account with less than 2 XLM (approximately $1.20 as of January 2025). This will allow you to access the exchanges and wallets within the Stellar ecosystem. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for using REAL8 on Exchanges such as StellarTerm, StellarX, or with wallets like Freighter and LOBSTR.
