Project Introduction
Ripple is a real-time gross settlement protocol, a currency exchange, and a money transfer system. The protocol supports tokens representing fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, commodities, and/or other assets.
Ripple was created as an alternative payment method for the banking system, and not as an alternative to fiat money and the traditional banking system.
Ripple's main customers are banks using the current software solution for cross-border payments with the ability to track transfers in real-time. Ordinary users can also use Ripple's digital currency for mutual settlements.
