Label: Smart Contracts

Pages about XRP Ledger features that can be used to build smart contracts.

Concepts

  • Accounts Cryptographic Keys

    Use cryptographic keys to approve transactions so the XRP Ledger can execute them.

  • Accounts Multi-Signing

    Use multi-signing for greater security sending transactions.

  • Payment Types Escrow

    Escrows set aside XRP and deliver it later when certain conditions are met. Escrows can depend on time limits, cryptographic conditions, or both.

  • Payment Types Payment Channels

    Payment Channels enable fast, asynchronous XRP payments that can be divided into very small increments and settled later.

Tutorials

  • Use Escrows Send a Time-Held Escrow

    Create an escrow whose only condition for release is that a specific time has passed.

  • Use Escrows Send a Conditionally-Held Escrow

    Create an escrow whose release is based on a condition being fulfilled.

  • Use Escrows Cancel an Expired Escrow

    Cancel an expired escrow.

  • Use Escrows Look up escrows

    Look up pending escrows by sender or destination address.

  • Use Escrows Use an Escrow as a Smart Contract

    Use a cryptographic escrow as a smart contract to ensure a recipient gets paid only if they successfully perform a service.

  • Use Specialized Payment Types Use Payment Channels

    Payment Channels are an advanced feature for sending "asynchronous" XRP payments that can be divided into very small increments and settled later. This tutorial walks through the entire process of using a payment channel, with examples using the JSON-RPC API of a local rippled server.
