Welcome to StellarRent Documentation
Your gateway to revolutionizing peer-to-peer rentals on the blockchain.
What is StellarRent?
StellarRent is a decentralized platform built on the Stellar blockchain, designed to facilitate peer-to-peer (P2P) rentals between property owners and tenants. By eliminating intermediaries such as real estate agencies or centralized platforms (e.g., Airbnb), StellarRent offers a cost-efficient, transparent, and secure rental experience.
Leveraging Stellar’s capabilities, including fast transactions (3-5 seconds), minimal fees (~$0.00001), and smart contracts powered by Soroban, StellarRent provides an innovative solution for both short- and long-term rentals.
Key Features
P2P Marketplace: Property owners list properties (houses, apartments, rooms) on a decentralized application (dApp), allowing tenants to negotiate directly.
Stablecoin Payments: Transactions use USDC on Stellar, ensuring instant and stable payments, avoiding crypto volatility.
Escrow via Smart Contracts: Payments are locked in a Soroban smart contract until predefined conditions are met (e.g., tenant confirms the property’s condition at the end of the rental period).
Transparency: All transactions are recorded on Stellar’s public ledger.
Reputation System: User ratings based on past rental history enhance trust within the platform.
Low Costs: Avoids high fees from traditional platforms (e.g., Airbnb charges up to 14.2% per booking).
Problems Solved
High intermediary costs (real estate agencies, rental platforms).
Slow or insecure payments.
Lack of transparency in rental agreements.
Exclusion of small property owners/tenants from emerging markets.
