## Stack Levels
The [core 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.
[![Ecosystem diagram with the four layers: XRP Ledger peer-to-peer network on the bottom, Programming Libraries above that, Middleware next, and Apps and Services at the top](img/ecosystem.png)](img/ecosystem.png)
[_Programming libraries_](#programming-libraries) exist in higher level software, where they are imported directly into program code, and contain premade implementations of routines to access the XRP Ledger.

### 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.
There are numerous other examples of projects using XRP and adjacent technologies to interact with users. Ripple's enterprise customers already have the option to use XRP through [on-demand liquidity services](https://www.ripple.com/ripplenet/on-demand-liquidity/). For more examples of businesses and software built on the XRP Ledger, see [Xpring Partners](https://xpring.io/#partners) or XRPChat's excellent [Links & Resources](https://www.xrpchat.com/links/) listing.
