The official Go SDK for the Stellar blockchain network, maintained by the Stellar Development Foundation. It provides transaction building, Horizon and Stellar RPC API clients, ledger data ingestion libraries, and core primitives like XDR encoding and strkey helpers.

Use cases

• build a Stellar wallet or payment app in Go
• submit transactions to the Stellar network via Horizon
• query Stellar account balances and transaction history
• create and sign Stellar transactions programmatically
• ingest and parse raw Stellar ledger data
• issue and manage custom assets on Stellar
• interact with Stellar RPC for Soroban smart contracts

When to choose

• you are building a Go backend or service that integrates with the Stellar network
• you need to build, sign, and submit Stellar transactions
• you want to index or process Stellar ledger data in Go
• you need an official, well-maintained SDK with Horizon and RPC clients

When to avoid

• you are writing Soroban smart contracts themselves (use the Rust SDK)
• your stack is JavaScript, Python, or another language with its own Stellar SDK
• you need to self-host Horizon or Galexie services (they moved to separate repositories)
