Ripple is a contributor to the network, but its rights are the same as those of other contributors. In terms of validation, there are 38 validators, with Ripple running six of the 38.") },

The XRP Ledger confirms transactions through a “consensus” mechanism - which does not waste energy like proof of work does - and leverages carbon offsets to be one of the first truly carbon neutral blockchains.
