# Modifying the Ledger
|
|
|
|
All changes to the XRP Ledger happen as the result of [transactions](transaction-formats.html), and all changes apply permanently _only_ if the transactions are approved by the [consensus process](consensus.html). No matter what interface you use to access the XRP Ledger, no API method ever change the contents of the XRP Ledger, except by submitting a transaction.
