### XRP Sales
In 2012, the creators of the XRP Ledger (Chris Larsen, Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto) gave 80 billion XRP to Ripple (the company, called OpenCoin Inc. at the time) in exchange for Ripple developing and promoting the XRP Ledger. Since then, the company has regularly sold XRP, used it to strengthen XRP markets and improve network liquidity, and incentivized development of the greater ecosystem. In 2017, the company [placed 55 billion XRP in escrow](https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-escrows-55-billion-xrp-for-supply-predictability/) to ensure that the amount entering the general supply [grows predictably](https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-to-place-55-billion-xrp-in-escrow-to-ensure-certainty-into-total-xrp-supply/) for the foreseeable future. Ripple's [XRP Market Performance site](https://ripple.com/xrp/market-performance/) reports how much XRP the company has available and locked in escrow at present.
The XRP Ledger was built over 2011 – early 2012 by Jed McCaleb, Arthur Britto and David Schwartz. In September 2012, Jed and Arthur, along with Chris Larsen formed Ripple (the company, called OpenCoin Inc. at the time) and decided to gift 80 billion XRP to Ripple in exchange for Ripple developing on the XRP Ledger. Since then, the company has regularly sold XRP, used it to strengthen XRP markets and improve network liquidity, and incentivized development of the greater ecosystem.
