Ripple Impact is a partnership for a sustainable, inclusive and equitable economy. Companies they partner with include: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, World Economic Forum, Rippleworks, Crypto Climate Accord, XRP Ledger Foundation and Energy Web.

According to Ripple, financial inclusion is a right. Adoption of crypto and blockchain can help billions of people, who currently cannot even open a bank account, participate economically. In emerging markets, it should be the case that you can always make transfers at low cost at, say, a market to buy fruit. With XRP, you can do that. XRP is also working with governments to design Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) for greater financial inclusion with the democratic power of blockchain technology. Ripple works with its partners and customers to meet the financial needs of everyone.

Ripple is a co-founder and active participant in the Crypto Climate Accord and WEF's Crypto Impact and Sustainability Initiative. XRP Ledger is carbon neutral and Ripple aims to achieve this by 2030.

• Onboard. Standard APIs (Application Programming Interface) integrate the CDBC platform into existing systems.

• Mint. Cryptographic multi-sign is used to tokenise CBDC.

• Distribute. CBDC can be issued to authorised accounts.

• Transact. A transaction is complete in 3-5 seconds. When connecting to CBDC, one can trade between (block) chains and across borders.

• Redeem. Participants can exchange CBDC for fiat money.

• Destroy. The CBDC platform can securely destroy currency, giving the bank full control over the amount in circulation. 

• With smart contracts, this system ensures that transactions between blockchains run smoothly. It is scalable, secure and respects people's privacy. It uses a negligible amount of power.

The XRP Ledger is a decentralised public blockchain run by a global community of developers.

It is fast, reliable and efficient with energy. Because it is easy to develop, is open source, has low transaction costs and a dialed-in community, it provides developers with a strong foundation for running demanding projects.

Programmers and developers choose the XRP Ledger for the following reasons:

• Public, open source and decentralised, maintained by the community.

• Streamlined development through documentation, reducing the time it takes to bring something to market.

• Thousands of transactions per second.

• Low cost, allowing you to use XRP for lots of different things.

• Vibrant community, making XRP Ledger better every day.

• Proven reliability.

Use cases of XRP Ledger:

1. Decentralised exchange built directly into the blockchain.

2. Payments between different national currencies (fiat).

3. Payment channels for micropayments.

4. Multi-sig, for security where you need multiple signatures to carry out a transaction.

5. All currencies besides XRP can be represented on the XRP Ledger, which they also call IOUs.

You can write on the XRP Ledger in Python, use Javascript, Java or HTTP API. For inspiration, you can look at what your peers have written.

If you want to send coins over the Internet, the cost of doing so is often very high. Sending XRP to another wallet address is very cheap. Therefore, it is often a good idea to exchange coins to XRP first and only then send them, which can save you several tens of dollars.
