XMR is a decentralized open-source cryptocurrency. The peculiarity of the coin is confidentiality, and untraceable transactions on the Monero blockchain.
XLM is the native token of a decentralized peer-to-peer (P2P) payment protocol for currency exchange and transactions. Stellar uses smart contracts and multi-signatures.
