XRP Ledger RPC
XRP Ledger Overview
The XRP Ledger is a decentralized, public blockchain built for payments and financial applications. It uses a unique consensus protocol that doesn't rely on mining or proof-of-work, enabling fast transaction settlement typically within 3-5 seconds with minimal energy consumption. The network facilitates cross-currency payments, decentralized exchange functionality, and tokenization through its native DEX and token issuance features.
Interacting with XRP Ledger's APIs
XRP Ledger supports JSON-RPC API methods for querying ledger state, account information, transaction history, and submitting transactions. Developers can use XRPL libraries (available in JavaScript, Python, Java, and other languages) or standard HTTP/WebSocket clients to communicate with XRPL nodes and access the network's payment and exchange capabilities.
The Quicknode XRP Ledger documentation is continuously evolving as the network undergoes upgrades and changes, so we highly recommend cross-referencing with the official XRPL documentation for the latest updates and features.
Make XRP Ledger API Calls
The quickest way to start building on XRP Ledger is to create a Quicknode endpoint and send your first JSON-RPC request.
Quicknode provides managed XRP Ledger endpoints, giving you immediate access to XRPL Mainnet and Testnet without the overhead of running infrastructure. These endpoints offer:
- High reliability – globally distributed infrastructure designed to minimize downtime
- Enhanced performance – optimized latency and request handling for production-grade apps
- Integrated ecosystem – additional functionality through specialized APIs (add-ons) on the Quicknode Marketplace and products like Streams
Visit the QuickStart page to create your endpoint and send your first request.
