What is Ripple (XRP)?

XRP is the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), an open-source, decentralized blockchain developed for fast and low-cost value transfer. The XRP Ledger was created in 2011--2012 by David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto, and officially launched in 2012.

Soon after, Chris Larsen joined the founding group behind the company that was originally called OpenCoin, which later became Ripple.

It is important to distinguish between the two. Ripple is the company, while XRP is the digital asset that exists on the XRP Ledger. RippleNet was the name used for Ripple's payments network, while Ripple's current payments solution is prominently branded as Ripple Payments.

XRP was created primarily for payments, value transfer, and cross-border settlement. It is known for fast transaction settlement, usually within 3 to 5 seconds, and comparatively low transaction costs. XRP also has a fixed maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, and no additional XRP can be mined or created.

Over time, XRP has become widely known for payment-focused use cases, liquidity movement, and blockchain-based financial applications. The XRP Ledger also supports other features such as a built-in decentralized exchange, token issuance, and additional on-chain financial functions.

How Does Ripple (XRP) Work?

XRP operates on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), a decentralized blockchain that uses its own consensus protocol rather than mining. Unlike Proof of Work or Proof of Stake, independent validators on the network compare transactions and agree on the next valid ledger state. Once consensus (agreement) is reached, the ledger is updated and the transactions become final.

This process is designed for speed and efficiency. On the XRP Ledger, transactions are typically confirmed in 3 to 5 seconds, and the network is built to handle around 1,500 transactions per second. That is one of the main reasons XRP is widely used for payments, transfers, and other value-movement use cases where low cost and fast settlement matter.

Every transaction submitted to the XRP Ledger must follow the network's protocol rules. Validators help agree on the order in which transactions are applied, while servers across the network check whether those transactions are valid. Once a transaction is accepted into a validated ledger, its result is considered final.

Another important feature of XRPL is its fee model. Instead of paying miners, each transaction destroys a very small amount of XRP as a transaction cost. This mechanism helps protect the network from spam and unnecessary load.
