+### Learn about the Stellar Interchain Token Service (ITS)
+
+The Interchain Token Service (ITS) enables tokens to scale across multiple chains by supporting both existing and newly minted tokens, preserving native-like fungibility and functionality on connected EVM chains, and automating deployment and maintenance to help teams easily manage supply on an open, scalable, and secure network. For the Stellar ecosystem, ITS offers:
+
+- Creation of new tokens that can exist on multiple blockchains.
+- Connecting existing Stellar tokens to other blockchain ecosystems.
+- Secure transfers of tokens between Stellar and other chains.
