Stellar Network Analytics

Real-time blockchain metrics, token analytics, and smart contract insights for the Stellar network.

Introduction

Stellar Network Analytics provides a comprehensive, real-time view of the Stellar blockchain. Monitor ledger sequences, transaction throughput, token activity, and Soroban smart contract interactions—all without requiring authentication.

Network

Ledgers, TPS, fees

Tokens

Real-Time

30-60s refresh

No Authentication Required

All analytics pages are publicly accessible. No API key or account needed to view real-time network data.

Dashboard Overview

The Analytics dashboard at /analytics provides a high-level view of Stellar network health and activity.

Key Metrics

Current Ledger

Latest ledger sequence number and protocol version. Updates every ~5 seconds as new ledgers close.

Transactions (24h)

Estimated total transactions in the last 24 hours, extrapolated from recent ledger data.

Success Rate

Percentage of transactions that completed successfully. High rates indicate network health.

Average Fee

Average transaction fee in stroops. Includes P95 percentile for fee estimation.

Historical Charts

Two side-by-side area charts visualize trends over your selected time range:

Transaction Volume

Number of transactions per time bucket (hourly, 4-hour, or daily)

Success Rate

Transaction success percentage over time

Time Ranges

Use the time range selector to view data across different periods. Each range uses appropriate data aggregation for optimal visualization.

RangeData PointsBucket SizeCache TTL
24h~25 pointsHourly30 seconds
7d~43 points4-hour5 minutes
30d~20 pointsDaily10 minutes
Note

The 30-day range shows approximately 19 days of data, limited by the available Horizon ledger history.

Network Metrics

Detailed ledger and transaction analysis available at /analytics/network.

Smart Contracts (Soroban)

Soroban smart contract activity and gas usage metrics at /analytics/contracts.

Activity Metrics

Invocations (24h)

Total contract invocations, extrapolated from sample

Success Rate

Percentage of successful contract calls

Avg Gas Fee

Mean gas fee (displayed in stroops or XLM)

Gas Usage & Fee Percentiles

Fee statistics from the Soroban RPC with percentile breakdowns:

Top Contracts

Most active contracts ranked by invocation count:

  • Contract ID: Truncated contract address
  • Invocations (24h): Extrapolated call count
  • Last Activity: Time since last invocation

Recent Events

Latest contract events from the network:

{
  "events": [
    {
      "contractId": "CABC...XYZ",    // Contract address
      "type": "ContractEvent",       // Event type
      "ledger": 61234567,            // Ledger sequence
      "timestamp": "5m ago",         // Relative time
      "txHash": "abc123...def"       // Transaction hash
    }
  ]
}

Understanding Stroops

Stroops are the smallest unit of currency on the Stellar network, similar to how satoshis are to Bitcoin or wei is to Ethereum.

1 XLM = 10,000,000 stroops
One XLM equals ten million stroops (107)

Why Stroops?

Precision

Stroops allow for highly precise transactions. The smallest possible payment on Stellar is 0.0000001 XLM (1 stroop).

Integer Math

Using integers avoids floating-point precision issues that can cause rounding errors in financial calculations.

Low Fees

The base transaction fee is typically 100 stroops (0.00001 XLM), making Stellar extremely cost-effective.

Conversion Examples

StroopsXLMCommon Use
10.0000001 XLMMinimum unit
1000.00001 XLMBase transaction fee
10,0000.001 XLMSmall micro-payment
1,000,0000.1 XLMSmall transfer
10,000,0001 XLMStandard unit
100,000,00010 XLMTypical payment

Conversion Formulas

// Stroops to XLM
const xlm = stroops / 10_000_000;

// XLM to Stroops
const stroops = xlm * 10_000_000;

// Examples:
100 stroops → 0.00001 XLM
1 XLM → 10,000,000 stroops

Display Format in Analytics

Our analytics use smart formatting based on context:

Network Fees

Always displayed in stroops (e.g., "100 stroops")

Token Volumes

Always displayed in XLM with 2 decimal places (e.g., "1,234,567.89 XLM")

Contract Gas Fees

Smart display: stroops for small amounts, XLM for amounts ≥10,000,000 stroops

Origin of the Name

The term "stroop" is named after the astronomical unit "parsec" spelled backwards (sort of). It's a playful nod to Stellar's space-themed naming conventions, where lumens (XLM) refer to units of light.

Data Sources

All analytics data is sourced from the Stellar network infrastructure:

Stellar Horizon API

Provides ledgers, transactions, operations, effects, and account data. Used for all network and token analytics.

Soroban RPC

Provides smart contract data including events, fee statistics, and contract state. Used for contract analytics.

Redis Cache

All API responses are cached with time-based expiration (30s to 10min) to ensure fast response times and reduce load on data sources.
