- Sending transactions in the XRP Ledger destroys a small amount of XRP. Senders choose how much to destroy, with certain minimums based on the expected work of processing the transaction and how busy the network is. If the network is busy, potential transactions that promise to destroy more XRP can cut in front of the transaction queue. This is an anti-spam measure to make it prohibitively expensive to [DDoS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denial-of-service_attack) the XRP Ledger network. For more information, see [Transaction Cost](transaction-cost.html).
- Each account in the XRP Ledger must hold a small amount of XRP in reserve. This is an anti-spam measure to disincentivize making the ledger data occupy too much space. XRP Ledger validators can vote to change the amount of XRP required as a reserve, to compensate for changes in XRP's real-world value. (The last time this happened was in December 2013, when [the reserve requirement decreased from 50 XRP to 20 XRP](https://ripple.com/insights/proposed-change-to-ripple-reserve-requirement-2/).) If the reserve requirement decreases, XRP that was previously locked up by the reserve becomes available again.
- Ripple (the company) holds a large reserve of XRP in escrow. At the start of each month, 1 billion XRP is released from escrow for Ripple to use. (Ripple uses XRP to incentivize growth in the XRP Ledger ecosystem and sells XRP to institutional investors. Ripple also sells XRP programmatically on exchanges to assist in funding operations. Sales figures are published quarterly in the [XRP Markets Report](https://ripple.com/insights/q1-2018-xrp-markets-report/), and retail sales limited to a small percentage of overall exchange volume.) At the end of each month, any remaining XRP the company does not sell or give away is stored into escrow for a 54-month period. For more information on Ripple's escrow policy, see [Ripple Escrows 55 Billion XRP for Supply Predictability](https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-to-place-55-billion-xrp-in-escrow-to-ensure-certainty-into-total-xrp-supply/).
