# Stellar Disbursement Platform

> Bulk payments, API workflows, and deployment architecture for organizations using Stellar.

## When to use this skill
- Making bulk payments to many recipients over Stellar
- Setting up or operating the Stellar Disbursement Platform
- Understanding SDP deployment, backend, frontend, and API boundaries
- Implementing disbursement flows that need operational controls

## Related skills

- Building integrations that send payments on Stellar → `../operations/SKILL.md`
- Setting up auth / wallet flows around disbursements → `../accounts/SKILL.md`

## Overview

The Stellar Disbursement Platform is an open-source tool for organizations to manage and execute bulk payments over the Stellar network.

### Repositories
- **Backend:** `stellar/stellar-disbursement-platform-backend` — backend and infrastructure code
- **Frontend:** `stellar/stellar-disbursement-platform-frontend` — web frontend code
- **Deployment:** `stellar/helm-charts` (`charts/stellar-disbursement-platform`) — Kubernetes deployment chart

## Core concepts

- **Disbursement** — a group payment to multiple recipients
- **Receivers** — recipient identities and wallet links
- **API / dashboard** — create, monitor, pause, and retry disbursements
- **Ops boundaries** — separate organization, auth, and payment concerns

## Important note

This platform is a separate infrastructure deployment, not a protocol-level Stellar feature.
