Ripple refers to both a private company, Ripple Labs, and the open-source, decentralized protocol it primarily supports, the XRP Ledger. This protocol facilitates fast, low-cost international payments using the digital asset XRP. XRP’s primary utility is as a bridge currency for cross-border transactions.
Mechanism
The XRP Ledger employs a consensus mechanism where designated validators agree on the order and validity of transactions without requiring proof-of-work mining. XRP functions as a liquidity bridge, enabling financial institutions to send payments across different fiat currencies without needing pre-funded nostro/vostro accounts.
Methodology
Ripple’s operational strategy targets institutional adoption by offering a payment network solution that competes with traditional SWIFT systems. Its architecture prioritizes transaction speed and scalability. The aim is to establish XRP as a global standard for real-time gross settlement and remittances, leveraging blockchain technology for conventional financial use cases.
