Veristar gives projects in the Stellar ecosystem clear numbers about how their sites and APIs are used, without cookies and without storing anyone’s IP address. It runs as one shared service for the Stellar Community Fund (SCF): every project gets private dashboards of its own traffic, and SCF operators get a cross-project view built from aggregates. The service is free. No fees are charged to projects or to anyone else.

What you get

Web analytics

Pageviews, visitors, visits, visit duration, bounce rate, referrers, countries, devices and browsers from one script tag, with custom events when you want them.

API analytics

Request volume, status codes and latency percentiles per service, method and route, sent by your backend with OpenTelemetry next to the tools you already use.

Privacy by design

No cookies, no stored IP addresses, and visitor counts based on a daily secret that is destroyed at midnight UTC.

Open and verifiable

Open source from tracker to infrastructure, with version-pinned tracker files you can check byte for byte.

Who it is for

  • Project teams (tenants) building on Stellar who want to understand the use of their sites, dapps and APIs. Start with the tenant guides.
  • SCF operators who review projects and compare them on shared metrics for funding and ecosystem decisions. Start with the operator guide.
  • Whoever runs the service, today or after a handover. Start with deploy and operate and the runbooks.

How to start

1

Sign in and enroll your project

Sign in to the console with GitHub and enroll your project. The console shows the addresses of the service you use; the guides use the example domain analytics.example.
2

Add web analytics

Register a site, copy its script tag into your pages and open your dashboard. The web quickstart walks through it, and there is a guide for each common framework.
3

Add API analytics

Create an OTLP token and add a second exporter to your application. The API quickstart explains the setup, and there are guides for Node.js, Python, Go and Rust.

Get help

Questions and problems go to the public issue tracker, as described in support.
