XRP is the native cryptocurrency of the XRP Ledger, a decentralized blockchain technology designed for payments. Created by Ripple Labs in 2012, XRP was developed with a focus on facilitating fast, low-cost international money transfers and remittances, particularly for financial institutions and payment service providers.
Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, the XRP Ledger uses a unique consensus protocol called the XRP Ledger Consensus Protocol. This protocol does not rely on mining, resulting in significantly faster transaction settlements (3-5 seconds) and much lower energy consumption. The XRP supply is pre-mined with a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, of which approximately 45 billion are in circulation.
XRP's primary use case is cross-border payments through Ripple's payment network, RippleNet. Financial institutions can use XRP as a bridge currency for transferring value between different fiat currencies, potentially reducing the need for pre-funded nostro accounts. Beyond payments, the XRP Ledger supports other functionalities including a decentralized exchange and non-fungible tokens.
When sending XRP, some exchanges and wallets require a destination tag (a numeric identifier) in addition to the address. This tag ensures your funds are correctly credited to your account on centralized platforms. Always check if a destination tag is required before sending XRP, as transactions sent without a required tag may result in lost funds or delayed recovery processes.
