How XRP Works

Inspired by Bitcoin’s innovation but aware of its potential limitations concerning speed and scalability, the founders of the XRP Ledger began working on a decentralized, open-source blockchain and its accompanying native cryptocurrency. Their goal was to develop a peer-to-peer trust network that was fast, affordable and energy-efficient.

Only 100 million XRP tokens will ever be in existence, and today about 50% are in circulation. XRP can be bought and sold on most major cryptocurrency exchanges.
