Modifying the Ledger

All changes to the XRP Ledger happen as the result of transactions, and all changes apply permanently only if the transactions are approved by the consensus process. 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.
