You send the transaction to the ledger as a RESTful command from JavaScript, Python, the command line, or any compatible service. The rippled server proposes the transaction to the ledger. When 80% of the validators approve the transaction, it is recorded as part of the permanent ledger. The ledger returns the results of the transaction.

### What Is In the XRPL Ecosystem?
The basis of the XRP Ledger is a peer-to-peer network of always-on rippled (pronounced _ripple-d_) servers sharing transactions, engaging in the consensus process, and processing transactions. Everything else in the XRP Ledger ecosystem is directly or indirectly built on top of this peer-to-peer network.

The XRPL is open to anyone who wants to set up their own instance of the rippled server and connect. The node can monitor the network, perform transactions, or become a validator.
For developers or new users who want to try out the features of XRPL without investing their own funds, there are two developer environments, _Testnet_ and _Devnet_. Users can create an account funded with 10,000 (fake) XRP and connect to either environment to interact with the XRPL.
