The Anchor Platform provides a set of tools and APIs for building on and off-ramp services on the Stellar network. With standardized interfaces and full implementations of key Stellar Ecosystem Proposals (SEPs), it simplifies integration with Stellar-based wallets and exchanges, enabling you to focus on your core business logic rather than protocol implementation details.
The Anchor Platform implements the following Stellar Ecosystem Proposals:

- SEP-10 — Web authentication using challenge/response transactions
- SEP-12 — Customer KYC/AML data management
- SEP-24 — Interactive deposit and withdrawal flows
- SEP-31 — Cross-border payment processing (receive only)
- SEP-38 — Price quotes and exchange rate services
- SEP-45 — Web authentication using challenge/responses for contract accounts
- Complete SEP implementations — Full support for deposit, withdrawal, and payment processing workflows
- Authentication & authorization — SEP-10 and SEP-45 support for both traditional and smart contract accounts
- Customer management — SEP-12 integration for KYC/AML compliance and customer data handling
- Transaction processing — Comprehensive transaction lifecycle management with status tracking and webhook callbacks
- Quote & exchange services — SEP-38 integration for price discovery and exchange rate calculations
