What is XRPL?

Founded in 2012, XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a battle-tested blockchain created by Ripple optimized for streamlined development, low transaction costs, high performance, and sustainability. Learn more at xrpl.org

The $XRP (Ripple) token is the native asset operating on XRPL blockchain and a leading digital asset used by businesses and developers around the world.

Supporting XRP cross-chain swaps is a game-changer for the XRPL community and broader Web3 users alike. Now, XRP holders can access the broader crypto universe without compromising decentralization.

Wallet support

Outside of connecting your XRPL Wallet via Keystore file, THORSwap also supports Keystore wallet to connect XRPL wallets. (More wallet options such as Xaman wallet coming soon)

For first time XRPL users, please be aware you will need to deposit at least 1 $XRP a fresh address to activate the wallet. The 1 XRP Token activation fee will be locked in your wallet and can’t be spent or transferred.

Swapping from another asset to XRP is a great way to fund the your new XRPL wallet.
