About the Developer Portal

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a decentralized, public blockchain that uses its own digital currency to process and record financial transactions and is led by a global developer community looking to solve problems and create value. It's fast, energy efficient, and reliable. With ease of development, low transaction costs, and a knowledgeable community, it provides developers with a strong open-source foundation for executing on the most demanding projects-without hurting the environment.

 

Why They Stand Out

The XRP Ledger docs are thorough, and easy to parse. Over the past two years, the technical writers for XRP Ledger had the opportunity to revise and enhance their documentation in several key ways:

  • Reduced cognitive load by adding white space and reinforcing graphics
  • Created graphic representations of abstract processes
  • Used video to illustrate background workflows
