Why StellarRent?

StellarRent is a decentralized platform that connects property owners and tenants directly, eliminating intermediaries and offering a fairer, more transparent, and cost-effective rental experience. We transform rentals to be better for users and essential for the peer-to-peer rental economy.

StellarRent: P2P rentals without intermediaries using Stellar

Benefits for Users

• Ultra-low fees & instant payments: Traditional platforms charge 10-20% commission per booking; StellarRent applies only a 3% platform fee and leverages network fees of ~0.00001 USD with settlements in 3-5 seconds, ensuring the remaining 97% goes directly to the host or tenant.

• Total transparency: Every contract and transaction is immutably recorded on the Stellar blockchain, eliminating review censorship and hidden charges.

• Control over your funds: With Trustless Work, StellarRent incorporates a neutral on-chain escrow infrastructure that holds deposits in a smart contract until agreed milestones (check-in/out, inspections, etc.) are met, with no central custody or risk of fund mismanagement.

• Automated transactions with clear rules: Automated transactions with clear rules: Every transaction is automated with transparent guidelines, eliminating fraud risks and speeding up the process.

Advantages for Hosts and the Community

• Access to new markets: Digital nomads and international tenants can rent without needing a bank account or lengthy banking verification processes.

• Enhanced host reputation: The on-chain rating system penalizes unjustified cancellations and rewards good practices with a public history, attracting more guests and increasing the value of your properties.

Future Roadmap:

• Decentralized identities with idOS (coming soon):

  • We will integrate idOS, an open-source, chain-agnostic “identity operating system” that offers self-sovereign storage and modular access management to data. With idOS, you’ll be able to:

    • Share KYC credentials and rental histories securely and reusably among owners, mediators, and insurers without exposing sensitive information.

    • Accelerate identity validation in seconds, reducing fraud and improving the onboarding experience.

    • Maintain compliance with GDPR, Data Protection Laws, and financial regulations, thanks to its design that embeds legality as an engineering function.

  • This identity layer will boost trust in StellarRent and prepare the platform for a truly interoperable and regulated rental ecosystem.
