XRP Ledger
Definition
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is an open-source, decentralized blockchain platform and distributed ledger technology that enables fast, low-cost, and scalable transactions, primarily using the native cryptocurrency XRP.
Developed by Ripple Labs (now Ripple), it supports peer-to-peer payments, tokenization of assets, and decentralized exchange (DEX) functionality without requiring mining.
