A Stellar TOML file is a comprehensive document that contains essential information about an organization’s Stellar integration. Here’s what is typically included in a stellar.toml file:

Contents of a Stellar TOML File

1. Account Information: This section includes the public address of the issuing account and other relevant details that uniquely identify the organization within the Stellar network.

2. Issuer Documentation: This part provides documentation about the issuer, which can include the organization’s official name, domicile (legal jurisdiction), and any related licenses it holds.

3. Point of Contact Documentation: Here, the organization lists contact information for users to get in touch, such as email addresses or official social media profiles.

4. Currency Documentation: This crucial section details the assets issued by the organization on the Stellar network, including the asset code, issuer, and a description of the asset.

5. Validator Information: For those running a Stellar validator node, this section allows them to declare their node(s) to the network, enhancing discoverability and contributing to the network’s health and decentralization.

The stellar.toml file is written in TOML format, designed to be easily readable by both humans and machines. It’s published at a URL associated with the organization’s Stellar account, creating a definitive link between the account and the provided information¹.

By including these details in a stellar.toml file, organizations on the Stellar network can establish trust, facilitate discovery, and streamline integration with other network participants.
