StellarPress Federation

StellarPress Federation: the easy way to host a Stellar Federation server

Addresses in the Stellar network are usually long strings of numbers & characters, not easy to remember.
With the StellarPress Federation others can use a simple address like “user*yourdomain.com” to send money to you. It implements the standardized Stellar Federation Server protocol so it is supported by all wallets for the Stellar network.
Normally, to host a Stellar Federation server, you will need a server with direct root access. But with this plugin you can run your own Federation server within WordPress, all using minimal overhead and resources!

Settings

The StellarPress Federation plugin adds fields to your backend users.
Every backend user with a provided Stellar address will automatically be provided through StellarPress Federation.
