Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum which disrupts global finance, Ripple (XRP) solves the current banking channel with its real-time gross settlement system (RTGS), currency exchange, and remittance network. XRP uses its blockchain-based payment protocol, RippleNet, to facilitate instantaneous transactions between financial entities.
RippleNet acts as a facilitator for sending and receiving payments seamlessly between the sender and the receiver through its distributed platforms. It also helps global banks streamline communication that is using its Ripple Transaction Protocol (RTXP).
This protocol reduces bottlenecks in cross-border payments that are done instantly, as compared to current SWIFT systems used globally by banks that take days to complete the transactions.
What is XRP?
Founded in 2012 as Opencoin, Ripple is a blockchain technology that acts as a digital payment network and protocol with its own cryptocurrency, XRP.
Instead of using a proof-of-work (PoW) mechanism, XRP uses a consensus mechanism, via a group of bank-owned servers, to confirm transactions.
Transactions on the XRP network cost a fraction, use less energy than Bitcoin, and are confirmed in seconds, whereas bitcoin transactions use more energy, take longer to confirm, and users have to pay higher transaction costs.
Ripple (XRP) is one of the top 10 cryptocurrencies among the most valuable blockchain-based tokens with a market capitalization of $36.56 billion with a 24-hour trading volume of $1.58 billion as of 9 April 2022.
Rippe was founded by Arthur Britto, David Schwartz, and Ryan Fugger in San Francisco, California.
