# Software Ecosystem
The XRP Ledger is home to a deep, layered ecosystem of software projects powering and enabling an Internet of Value. It's impossible to list every project, tool, and business that interacts with the XRP Ledger, so this page only lists a few categories and highlights some central projects that are documented here on [xrpl.org](https://xrpl.org).

- The [basis of the XRP Ledger](#rippled-the-core-server) is a peer-to-peer network of always-on servers sharing transactions, engaging in the [consensus process](consensus.html) and processing [transactions](transaction-basics.html). Everything else in the XRP Ledger ecosystem is ultimately built on top of this peer-to-peer network, directly or indirectly.

### Apps and Services
Atop the stack is where the truly exciting things happen. Apps and services provide a way for users and devices to connect to the XRP Ledger. At this level, [exchanges list XRP](list-xrp-in-your-exchange.html), [gateways issue other currencies](become-an-xrp-ledger-gateway.html) for use in the decentralized exchange, and wallets provide user interfaces for buying, selling, or just <s>HODLing</s> holding XRP. Many other possibilities exist, including additional services layered even higher.

A great way to build applications that are compatible with not only XRP but lots of other ways of denominating value is to use the [Interledger Protocol][] with settlement in XRP.
