The XRP Ledger (XRPL), launched in 2021, is an open-source, permissionless, and decentralized technology. It offers several benefits, including low transaction costs ($0.0002), quick settlement (3-5 seconds), scalability (1,500 transactions per second), and environmentally friendly features (carbon-neutral and energy-efficient). The ledger includes the first decentralized exchange (DEX) and built-in custom tokenization capabilities. Operating since 2012, the XRP Ledger has closed 70 million ledgers, proving its reliability over the years.
