<p>{% trans %}In 2011 and early 2012, the trio of developers started a project to build a distributed ledger that improved upon these fundamental limitations of Bitcoin—their first ever code commit was in November 2011.{% endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans %}They wrote code, that when executed, would create a distributed ledger, which they named Ripple. It included a digital asset that would be called “ripples” (XRP as the currency code) to follow the same naming convention as Bitcoin (BTC). At the time, Ripple stood for the open-source project, the unique consensus ledger (Ripple Consensus Ledger), transaction protocol (Ripple Transaction Protocol or RTXP), the network (Ripple network) and the digital asset (known as “ripples”).{% endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans %}In practice, this approach led to many, broad uses of “Ripple.” To clarify, the community simply started calling the digital asset, “XRP.”{% endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans %}By June 2012, Schwartz, McCaleb and Britto completed code development and the XRP Ledger was fully functioning.{% endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans %}At that time, they decided their next move would be to gift 80 billion XRP to a not-yet-formed private company that would work with the broader community as well as pursue its own payments mission. The ledger code itself would be open source and for anyone to use.{% endtrans %}</p>
<p>{% trans %}They all agreed on how to allocate the XRP among themselves and the future company, and they eventually created the company along with Chris Larsen in September 2012.{% endtrans %}</p>

<h5 class="longform mb-10">{% trans %}Most currency today—whether digital or physical—is not environmentally friendly. The potential for long-term impact on our planet could hold startling consequences. {% endtrans %}</h5>
<p class="mb-6">{% trans %}The XRP Ledger processes transactions through a unique “consensus” mechanism that consumes negligible energy and all XRP currency is already in circulation.{% endtrans %}</p>
<p class="mb-6">{% trans %}Cash also leaves a substantial carbon footprint, and the environmental impact goes beyond energy consumption—eutrophication (due to waste), photochemical ozone creation, greenhouse gas emissions and more factor into the equation.{% endtrans %}</p>
<p class="mb-6">{% trans %}Other digital assets, like Bitcoin, rely on a different mechanism to both validate transactions and create new coins. This “proof-of-work” algorithm requires “mining.” Mining is an incredibly energy-intensive process for validating transactions that consumes more energy in a year than entire countries.{% endtrans %}</p>
<p class="mb-10">{% trans %}Adopting XRP more broadly will help limit this waste and ensure a sustainable future for our planet and global economy.{% endtrans %}
