rippled (xrpld) is the core C++ server daemon implementing the XRP Ledger protocol, a decentralized cryptographic ledger secured by a Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus algorithm. It runs as a peer-to-peer node that validates, relays, and records transactions on the XRP Ledger, and can operate in various modes including validator, API server, and full-history node.
Use cases
- run a validator node for the XRP Ledger network
- self-host an XRP Ledger API server for my application
- query XRP Ledger transactions and account balances from my own node
- operate a full history node to access all historical ledgers
- settle cross-currency payments on a decentralized ledger
- issue and trade tokens on a fast low-cost blockchain
- build a wallet or exchange backend backed by an XRPL node
When to choose
- you need to run your own XRP Ledger infrastructure instead of relying on third-party RPC providers
- you want to participate in XRPL consensus as a validator
- you need direct, low-latency access to ledger data for an exchange, wallet, or explorer
- you require full transaction history locally for compliance or analytics
When to avoid
- you only need occasional XRPL queries and can use a public RPC endpoint or hosted API like Clio
- you want to build a blockchain on a different protocol or with smart contracts beyond XRPL's built-in features
- you need a lightweight client library rather than a full server daemon
- you lack the resources to run and maintain a high-performance C++ server node
