# Federation Name🌐

Traditional Stellar addresses are long, complex strings of alphanumeric characters, making them difficult to **share, remember, and use** in transactions.

**Federation addresses** provide a **human-readable alias** linked to a real Stellar public address. Instead of sending assets to a long public key, you can **use a simpler Federation Name**—for example, `yourname*scopuly.com`.

## **Benefits of Federation Addresses:**

✅ **Easier Transactions** – No need to copy and paste long public keys.\
✅ **Better Readability** – Use a **clear and recognizable** name.\
✅ **Simplifies Payments** – Send Stellar assets to a **federation name** instead of a public key.
