How Does the XRP Ledger Work?

In the previous episode, we explored what XRP is and why it was designed for global payments. In this episode, the key question is: how does the XRP Ledger actually work, and why is it different from other blockchain systems?

The XRP Ledger does not rely on mining or a proof-of-work mechanism. There are no mined blocks and no energy-intensive machines running in the background. Instead, it uses a unique method known as a consensus protocol. This means that selected validators within the network collectively agree on which transactions are valid and which are not.

The XRP Ledger is supported by dozens of independent validators distributed across the globe. Every few seconds, these validators gather incoming transactions and consult with one another to decide which transactions will be included in the next version of the ledger. If at least 80% of the validators agree on a transaction, it is permanently recorded.

This entire process is completed within three to five seconds, and once the ledger is updated, it cannot be altered. This is why settlement on the XRP Ledger is considered final—there are no reversals and no uncertainty after confirmation.

Another important distinction is that the XRP Ledger does not offer block rewards like Bitcoin. Validators do not receive newly created coins for validating transactions. The benefit of this design is that power does not gradually concentrate in the hands of a few large players, as happens in many other networks. The sole objective here is to maintain network accuracy and stability, not to maximize token rewards.

The XRP Ledger also gives users the freedom to choose which validators they trust. Each user can create their own Unique Node List (UNL), meaning they can personally decide which validators’ opinions to accept. If any organization or group attempts to misuse influence, users can easily exclude them.

Because of this architecture, the XRP Ledger is considered fast, secure, and relatively decentralized. The network has been running continuously for years, with millions of ledgers successfully closed without any major failures.

In summary, the XRP Ledger’s consensus system sets it apart from other blockchains. No mining, no excessive energy consumption, and no transaction delays. These characteristics make it a strong candidate for international and cross-border payments.

In the next episode, we will explore where and how XRP is being used in practice, and the role Ripple plays within this ecosystem.

Знаете ли вы, что Биткоин $BTC — это, возможно, самая большая сокровищница «затонувших кораблей» в истории человечества?
Пока мы спорим о курсе, ловим волатильность и ждём инфляцию, миллионы монет тихо «спят» в цифровой пустоте.
Вот 3 факта о призраках, которые заставят вас иначе взглянуть на свой кошелёк:
1. 1,1 миллиона монет Сатоши
Главный «призрак» криптомира. Основатель Биткоина не трогал свои кошельки с самого начала. Эти монеты — как золотой запас Атлантиды.
Если они когда-нибудь «проснутся», это будет сравнимо с извержением вулкана. Но, скорее всего, они навсегда останутся памятником создателю.
2. Трагедия 8 000 $BTC
История Джеймса Хауэллса — человек случайно выбросил жёсткий диск с приватными ключами на свалку в Уэльсе.
Где-то под тоннами мусора до сих пор «лежит» состояние в сотни миллионов долларов. Современная версия легенд о пиратских картах и зарытых кладах.
3. Реальный дефицит
На бумаге Биткоинов будет 21 миллион.
Но по факту около 4–5 миллионов монет утеряны навсегда: забытые пароли, сломанные флешки, кошельки, владельцы которых унесли тайну с собой.
Это делает Биткоин гораздо более редким активом, чем мы привыкли думать.
Мы торгуем в океане, где на дне лежат целые империи.
Каждый потерянный ключ — это тишина, которая делает ваши монеты ещё ценнее. 💎

嘿，大家好，我是ETH毛毛虫，一个在crypto世界里摸爬滚打了好几年的散户。最近我在Layer2赛道挖了不少项目，但@Plasma 这个让我忍不住停下来好好聊聊。它不是那种高大上的技术堆砌，而是像一个老朋友一样，帮我们解决实际痛点——交易费用高、速度慢这些日常烦恼。来，我像讲故事一样，带你一步步走近它。

想象一下：你是个普通上班族，想在以太坊上玩DeFi或NFT，但每次转账Gas费都心疼得像丢了钱包。Plasma就出来了，它走的是“链下计算+链上验证”的老路子（源自Vitalik的Plasma概念），但升级成了高性能Layer1（专为稳定币优化），采用模块化架构，包括执行层（链下处理交易）、数据可用性层（确保链下数据可验证，通过高效存储和检索机制支持大规模稳定币转移）和结算层（链上最终确认），这让它更灵活、可扩展。针对USDT等稳定币做了转账链路简化、跨链清算提速的专属技术优化，加上协议级Paymaster系统赞助Gas费，实现真正零费用转账。简单说，就是把重活儿扔到链下做，只在链上验证结果。这样，交易成本能压到几乎为零，还保持了顶级安全性。我第一次试用他们的测试网时，转账USDT居然零费用！那种感觉，就像从拥挤的地铁换到高铁，瞬间解放了。

技术上，它和主流的Optimistic或ZK Rollups不一样，更轻量、更亲民。根据Plasma官方文档，Plasma的Gas费接近0 USD（尤其是USDT转账，通过协议级Paymaster系统赞助Gas费），而Optimistic Rollups通常在0.01-0.10 USD，ZK Rollups则在0.05-0.20 USD；TPS方面，Plasma超过1000 TPS（采用PlasmaBFT共识机制——一种基于Fast HotStuff的高性能BFT实现，通过管道化处理提案、投票和提交，节点确认时间压缩至1秒内，实现秒级最终性和低延迟），Optimistic和ZK都在1000-4000 TPS区间，但Plasma的零费设计、自定义Gas代币支持（可用USDT或BTC支付费）和稳定币专属定位对中小散户和高频交易者吸引力超大——比如，你在DEX上刷单，不用再为Gas费纠结。$XPL

再附上Layer2解决方案的Gas费/TPS对比图，直观看出Plasma的零费+高TPS优势（数据来源：DefiLlama + Plasma官方数据）：

生态上，他们正接入NFT市场和支付App，已与Aave、EtherFi、Backpack等深度集成，其中Aave在Plasma上的TVL已超25亿（占Plasma总TVL显著比例，成为其最大部署之一），我覺得这会像雪球一样越滚越大。记得去年TON的支付生态突然爆火？Plasma的稳定币定位（专攻USDT等）让我看到类似潜力，尤其在跨境汇款这种场景里，能帮很多人省钱、省心。在当前以太坊Layer2竞争加剧+比特币减半预期（2028年即将到来）下，Plasma的轻量化定位更显差异化，能在稳定币支付领域脱颖而出。

市场方面，$XPL 现在价格低位（约0.08 USD，据CoinMarketCap/CoinGecko实时数据，流通市值约1.4-1.7亿），从高点跌了不少，但主网Beta上线后，TVL已经稳定在3亿+（DefiLlama显示约3.06B USD，峰值曾超5-6B），增长迅猛。想想看，如果开发者蜂拥而来，接入更多DeFi伙伴（如Aave已是大头），它能翻身吗？当然，风险也得直说：Layer2竞争太猛了，Plasma要脱颖而出，得靠用户留存和生态活力。要是开发者不买账，它可能就成昙花一现。我自己也踩过坑，小币种波动大，上个月类似项目就让我亏了20%。

从我的交易经验看，现在适合放个小仓位观察。日线量能如果起来（比如突破1.28亿交易量），在0.07-0.09建仓，止损0.06，目标0.15。别all in，风控是命根子！这不是投资建议，只是我的亲身心得。

It all started with just $2 sitting in my Binance account. I never imagined it could become $200 — but with some smart moves, patience, and research, I made it happen. Here's exactly what I do

1. I Explored Binance Earn 🪙

Instead of jumping into risky trades, I first put my $2 into Simple Earn. It was offering around 5% APY on stablecoins. Not much, but a safe start. That small growth gave me confidence

2. Learned from the Market 📉📈

Every day, I spent 10–15 minutes reading Binance Square posts, watching tutorials, and following traders who shared market trends. I began to understand when Bitcoin was overbought or when an altcoin was about to move.

3. Got Into Low-Cap Altcoins 🔎

After learning some basics, I took a small risk: I bought a low-cap coin under $0.01 (like $PEPE, $FLOKI or $DOGE when it dipped). I didn’t go all in — just a little bit and held for a few weeks.

One of those altcoins pumped 5000% — turning my small $2 holding into over $150 in profit.

4. Used Binance Write-to-Earn ✍️
This was the game changer.
I discovered that Binance pays real USDT if you write original crypto posts on Binance Square. I wrote daily analysis, price opinions, and beginner tips — and within a week, I earned $30–$50 in rewards and tips from readers.

My total reached $200+ including rewards and altcoin profits — all without referrals or big investments!
..
5. What I Learned 🎯
You don’t need $1000 to start in crypto. Just start smart.
Small, steady moves > random gambling.
Learn daily, write your thoughts, and engage with the community.
Binance offers real earning options if you're consistent.
..
📌 Final Thoughts
If I could grow $2 into $200 with no experience, so can you.
Focus on learning, look for hidden gems, use Binance tools, and try Write-to-Earn — because earning with your words is real.

There’s an old story about a man who tricked an entire village by buying monkeys at rising prices.
He started at $10 per monkey, then $20, $40, and finally $50. Excited by the promise of “easy money,” the villagers spent all their time catching monkeys — until none were left in the forest.
Then the man left, and his assistant told them:
👉 “My boss will pay $100 per monkey when he returns. I can sell you these monkeys for $70 now — guaranteed profit.”
The villagers rushed to buy. But the assistant vanished, the boss never came back, and the villagers were left with cages full of worthless monkeys.
🔑 Lesson: This is exactly how pump-and-dump scams work. Prices are hyped, retail traders rush in, and when insiders cash out, late buyers are left “holding the bag.”
📌 My Binance Example
Even though I already knew this monkey story, I once ignored my own discipline.
I bought $TREE on Binance after it pumped 100% in one day.
Instead of waiting, I chased the hype. Within hours, I was down 5%.
That small mistake reminded me of the golden rule:
👉 Never hold the monkey.
💡 Takeaways:
Don’t FOMO into coins after a huge pump.
Always trade with a strategy, not emotions.
Hype is temporary — discipline lasts.
