The XRP Ledger is built on The XRP Ledger is built powered by a network of peer-to-peer servers. It is the home of XRP, a digital asset designed to bridge the many different currencies in use worldwide. Ripple stewards the development of the XRP Ledger, and advances XRP as a key contribution to the Internet of Value: a wordl in which money moves the way information does today. 💯 XRP is a digital asset native to the XRP Ledger. Anyone with a cryptographic key and an internet connection can receive, hold, and send XRP to anyone else. 🙉 No single party decides which XRP transactions succeed or fail, and no one can "roll back" a transaction after it completes. 💨 The XRP Ledger's consensus algorithm settles transactions in 4 to 5 seconds, processing at a throughput of up to 1500 transactions per second. 📈 When the XRP Ledger began, 100 billion XRP were created, and no more XRP will ever be created. ⚖️ A team of full-time, world-class developers at Ripple maintain and continually improve the XRP Ledger's underlying software. 🔐 The XRP Ledger relies on industry standard digital signature systems like ECDSA and also supports modern, efficient algorithms like Ed25519. ⚙️ Features like Escrow, Checks, and Payment Channels support cutting-edge financial applications while safety features like Invariant Checks and Amendments provide for stable operation. 💱 The XRP Ledger also has a fully-functional accounting system for tracking and trading obligations denominated in any way users want, and an exchange built into the protocol.Learn.
