The first major, global, public carbon-neutral blockchain
XRPL Sustainability & Impact
The XRPL was designed to settle transactions sustainably in addition to providing developers with utility, speed, and low fees.
Building for the Future
Consensus protocol is efficient and sustainable
For more than 272 million migrants worldwide, sending and receiving money across borders is expensive, unreliable and complex.
Open and decentralized, blockchain and crypto are seeing an increase in adoption across the financial services industry, from retail and institutional investment to commercial use cases like CBDCs, NFTs and cross-border payments.
With usage growing, it’s critical that measures are taken today to ensure that the technology is environmentally sustainable tomorrow.
A Sustainable Future
What makes the XRPL sustainable?
XRPL’s unique consensus mechanism is eco-friendly—it does not require mining to settle transactions. This results in efficiency without sacrificing security, decentralization, or scalability.
The trivial amount of energy it does consume is then neutralized with carbon credits through EW Zero, an open-source blockchain decarbonization tool.
