This crypto asset will be used for cross-border payments. Points rewarded: (10000/10000)
Stellar lumens is a company that is similar to Ripple however considered more decentralized and open source. A good comparison between the two can be found here.
Stellar is a not for profit organisation and the founder who(m) also founded Ripple and Mt.gox. Stellar provides more utility as XRP in terms of becoming an ICO platform that is quicker then ETH.
partners
I rated the partnerships of this crypto asset as 8 out of 10! Points rewarded: (6000/7500)
The company Ripple wins here, although Stellar Lumens has some amazing partnerships with IBM. More partners found in this source
transparancy
This crypto asset is transparant. Points rewarded: (7500/7500)
It is clear that XLM will be used in the Stellar network as a cross border payment bridge currency. However there are doubts as to whether banks may create their own
currencies and copy what XLM or Ripple is trying to do. I am not sure if this is feasible and whether there is any point for banks to do this.

technical (Max 25000 points)
decentralised
I rated the decentralisation of this crypto asset as 9 out of 10! Points rewarded: (5625/6250)
It is clear that XLM is more decentralised than XRP in terms of it's consensus protocol and how the nodes agree upon work being done.
Quantifying decentralization is harder then people think, often not easily answered in one go.
The nakamoto coefficient shows how decentralization could be measured.
future proof
This crypto asset is future proof. Points rewarded: (6250/6250)
source. The article suggests that XLM is better scalable then Ripple. Although further research on this point is worth it.
More research is required though as I have not been able to find information about it being scalable for the future

source and here an explanation on how the consensus protocol works.

traceable
This crypto asset is very easy to trace. Points rewarded: (0/1250)
source. There are some solutions already that involve trusting 3rd parties to hide your identity. However stellar itself is not private.
The Lightning Network which they are intending to use in the future will help with the issue of private transactions.
