StellarX: Stellar order books, AMM costs and issuer-dependent withdrawals

StellarX’s product and operator disclosures, native network charges, AMM fees, wallet recovery limits and asset-issuer boundaries.

By FXBrokers Research DeskOperating status: ActivePublished Updated Sources checked
  • StellarX offers access to native Stellar order books and pools; funding and redemption involve separate providers.
  • A 0.30% native AMM charge and XLM network costs can apply despite interface zero-fee messaging.
  • Private keys stay outside StellarX custody, while issuer authorisation and clawback can still affect issued assets.
  • The current Ultra Stellar product listing and the Diamond Ltd. agreement dated 2019 require a clear operator-date distinction.

StellarX provides a wallet interface to Stellar’s order books and liquidity pools. Ultra Stellar currently lists it among its products, while the published user agreement still carries a 15 February 2019 date and names Diamond Ltd. Trading an issued asset therefore requires two separate checks: the interface’s terms and the issuer’s redemption, identity and transfer conditions.[4][2][1]

Pricing scope
StellarX advertises no trading commission. Native network charges, a 0.30% native AMM pool fee where applicable, and issuer/ramp costs still affect the transaction. Network-fee gifts in dated terms are discretionary.
Funding scope
Wallet funding and transfers use Stellar assets. Bank/card conversion and redemption depend on external providers and asset issuers, including their fees, minimums, KYC and permitted countries.
Custody and asset handling
Published guidelines say StellarX holds neither assets nor secret keys. Issued assets remain dependent on their issuer; AMM deposits have pool exposure.
Client eligibility
Age and geographic restrictions appear in the dated agreement. Asset issuers and funding providers can impose separate identity and residency requirements.
Support
Published agreement lists [email protected] and [email protected]; those contacts form part of the dated legal disclosure. Wallet recovery is limited by control of the secret key and recovery credentials.
Authorisation and registration scope
Neither the product-family listing nor the 2019 Bermuda-law agreement establishes a current financial-services permission. Any issuer or on/off-ramp licence has its own entity and scope.

Additional Information

Sections ↑

The most useful comparison is the amount that can be received and redeemed for the exact asset and issuer. A low network fee cannot compensate for poor market depth, an expensive off-ramp or an issuer that will not redeem for the holder’s country. A token trade, a pool deposit and a bank payout should therefore be evaluated as separate operations.[2][4][7]
