FAQ

What Is Ripple?
Ripple is a real-time, gross settlement system, currency exchange and remittance network. Also called the Ripple Transaction Protocol or Ripple protocol, i’ts built on a distributed open source Internet protocol, consensus ledger and native currency called XRP. Released in 2012, Ripple purports to enable secure, instant and nearly free global financial transactions of any size with no chargebacks.
What Is XRP?
XRP is the native currency of the Ripple network. It only exists within the Ripple system. There is a total of 100 billion XRP in existence, with no more allowed to be created according to the protocol's rules.
Who Is Behind Ripple?
The company building the Ripple protocol, OpenCoin, was co-founded by CEO Chris Larsen and CTO Jed McCaleb. The San Francisco-based blockchain startup is also the majority owner of XRP, holding about 61% of the digital currency. In May 2017, to alleviate concerns surrounding XRP supply, Ripple committed to placing 55 billion XRP (88% of its XRP holdings) into a cryptographically-secured escrow. The escrow will allow the company to sell up to 1 billion ‘coins’ monthly and return whatever is unused at the end of each month to the back of the escrow queue in the form of an additional month-long contract, essentially starting the process all over.
What’s the Difference Between Ripple and Bitcoin?
Ripple and Bitcoin each use a different method to reach network consensus. Ripple uses an iterative consensus process, while Bitcoin uses Proof-of-Work (mining). As a result, Ripple is faster than Bitcoin. It only takes a few seconds to finalize transactions.
How Can I Buy XRP?
The most common way to buy XRP is through cryptocurrency exchanges trading platforms such as GDAX, Poloniex or Bitfinex, or directly from other people via peer-to-peer marketplaces. Purchases can be made in a variety of ways, ranging from hard cash, to credit and debit cards, to wire transfers, even via other cryptocurrencies.
How to Choose an XRP Exchange?
There are a number of factors to consider when choosing which cryptocurrency exchange to start investing and trading with. Some of these include, transaction fees, accessibility, liquidity conditions, reputation, transparency, even in which country the exchange is located. Ultimately, there is no right or wrong exchange to start trading with, but doing your homework first is highly encouraged.
