Why build on the XRP Ledger?
The ripple ledger (often referred to simply as xrpledger) is a decentralized cryptographic ledger powered by a network of peer-to-peer servers. It is designed for enterprise-grade speed and scalability.
Setting up a ripple validator or an xrp node ensures you have direct access to the network's consensus mechanism. For developers building payment applications, understanding the ripple payment network is crucial for enabling fast, low-cost ripple cross border payments.
