The goal is to constrain the growth of the ledger to match improvements in technology so that a current commodity-level machine can always fit the current ledger in RAM. -To have an account object, an address must hold a minimum amount of XRP in the shared global ledger. You cannot send this XRP to other addresses. To fund a new address, you must send XRP to that address in an amount that satisfies the minimum reserve requirement. +To have an account, an address must hold a minimum amount of XRP in the shared global ledger. You cannot send this XRP to other addresses. To fund a new address, you must send that address enough XRP to meet the reserve requirement. As determined by [Fee Voting](fee-voting.html), the current minimum reserve requirement is **20 XRP**. (This is the cost of an address that owns no other objects in the ledger.) Each new [account](accounts.html) must set aside this much XRP. Some of this XRP can be recovered by [deleting the account](accounts.html#deletion-of-accounts).
