What is

XRP

?

XRP is a digital asset native to the XRP Ledger, an open-source and decentralized blockchain designed for fast, low-cost transactions. Created in 2012 with a focus on improving global payments, XRP can settle transactions in just 3-5 seconds, making it significantly faster than Bitcoin. Its low transaction fees and scalability (up to 1,500 transactions per second) make it an ideal choice for cross-border payments and microtransactions. XRP is also environmentally sustainable, consuming minimal energy compared to other cryptocurrencies. It is widely used by financial institutions as a bridge currency and by individuals for transferring value across borders.

Frequently asked questions

What is XRP Ledger, and how does it work?

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a decentralized blockchain created by Ripple Labs that enables efficient, secure, and scalable transactions. It uses a unique consensus algorithm where network validators reach agreement on transaction order without mining, enabling fast transaction processing with low fees.

What utility does the XRP token have?

The XRP token is used primarily to facilitate quick, low-cost currency transfers across the XRP Ledger, while also serving as an intermediary asset for cross-border transactions and a bridge currency between different fiat currencies.

What wallets are compatible with XRP?

With Kado, you can automatically connect your MetaMask or Edge wallet to on-ramp XRP. You can also manually enter the address of any XRPL-supported wallet.

What assets can I buy on the XRPL Ledger?

Currently, you can buy XRP through Kado to your self-custody wallet.

What role does Ripple play in the XRP ecosystem?

Ripple is the technology company behind the development of the XRP Ledger and the promotion of XRP as a payment solution. While XRP is independent and decentralized, Ripple plays a significant role in providing solutions that facilitate the use of XRP in financial markets and cross-border payments.

Why is XRP considered a more sustainable cryptocurrency?

XRP is considered more sustainable because it has minimal energy consumption. Unlike Bitcoin, which relies on proof-of-work (a high-energy-consuming process), XRP uses a consensus algorithm that requires far less energy to process transactions.
