How XRP Ledger Work?
XRP is a digital asset built for payments. It is the native digital asset on the XRP Ledger an open-source, permissionless and decentralized blockchain technology that can settle transactions in 3-5 seconds. XRP can be sent directly without needing a central intermediary, making it a convenient instrument in bridging two different currencies quickly and efficiently.
Faster, less costly and more scalable than any other digital
asset, XRP and the XRP Ledger are used to power innovative technology across
the payments space. Ripple is focused on building technology to help unleash
new utility for XRP and transform global payments.
Third parties are also pursuing other XRP-related use cases.
Ripple customers can use XRP for sourcing liquidity in cross-border transactions,
instead of pre-funding ensuring instant settlement, lower exchange fees and
more efficient use of working capital. What is cryptocurrency XRP
RippleX is Ripple’s open developer platform for money.
Through RippleX projects, developers leverage XRP and its underlying technology
in use cases from micropayments, to e-commerce to exchanges and peer-to-peer
services.
The ledger is maintained by independent participants of a
global “XRP Community,” of which Ripple is an active member. Independent
validator nodes come to an agreement on the order and validity of XRP
transactions.
This agreement, called consensus, serves as final and
irreversible settlement. The ledger
reaches consensus on all outstanding transactions every 3-5 seconds, at which
point a new ledger is issued. Anyone can be a validator, and active validators
on the ledger today include universities, exchanges and financial institutions.
There are currently 36 validators and Ripple runs 6 of them 16%.
XRP’s seven-year track record of stable technology and governance makes it
ready for institutional and enterprise use. The XRP Ledger settles XRP
transactions instantly without the energy costs associated with proof of work
(or mining).
