XRP Ledger

The XRP Ledger is a decentralised public blockchain launched in 2012 and developed to support fast, low cost and scalable digital transactions. Maintained by a global community of developers, businesses and validators, it provides a foundation for applications ranging from payments and tokenisation to decentralised exchange services. The network settles transactions within seconds through a consensus mechanism that relies on independent validators rather than mining, offering both speed and energy efficiency. Its native digital asset, XRP, is used to facilitate transfers and provide liquidity across different currencies. With more than a decade of uninterrupted operation, the XRP Ledger has become a reliable platform for organisations building blockchain based financial and commercial solutions.
