What is Stellarent?
Your gateway to revolutionizing peer-to-peer rentals on the blockchain.
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, especially in high-inflation economies and underbanked regions.
By leveraging Stellar’s speed (3–5 second finality), near-zero network costs (~$0.00001 USD), a low 3% platform fee, and Soroban smart contracts, StellarRent enables a radically more efficient and accessible rental experience.
Key Features
P2P Marketplace: Property owners list properties (houses, apartments, rooms) through a decentralized application (dApp), allowing tenants to browse, book, and negotiate directly.
Stablecoin Payments: Payments are made in USDC on Stellar, ensuring fast, borderless, and stable-value transactions without traditional banking requirements.
Smart Escrows with Legal Fallback:
Security deposits are held in decentralized escrows and automatically released when predefined conditions are met (e.g., the tenant confirms the property’s condition). This eliminates the need for manual coordination or third-party intervention, reducing stress for travelers by ensuring a fast, transparent, and neutral rental process.
In case of disputes (e.g., damage claims or non-compliance), funds can be frozen, and the case is escalated to a partnered legal entity or arbitration service, following jurisdiction-specific clauses embedded in the contract.
Transparency: All rental agreements are recorded immutably on Stellar’s public ledger, and a reputation system rates both parties, combating scams and building trust in informal rental markets.
Reputation System: Both landlords and tenants are rated based on past rentals, enabling trust without intermediaries.
Accessibility: The platform supports non-banked users via digital wallets, helping renters and landlords in underserved markets participate in the rental economy.
Low Costs: Unlike traditional platforms like Airbnb (which charge up to 14.2%), StellarRent minimizes fees through automation and decentralization.
Problems Solved
High intermediary costs (real estate agencies, rental platforms).
Slow, opaque, or insecure payment channels, especially across borders.
Lack of trust and transparency in rental agreements and deposit handling.
Exclusion of non-banked or crypto-native users from traditional platforms.
Legal complexity in conflict resolution, mitigated via hybrid smart contract + legal arbitration design.
