On Wednesday (1 February 2023), RippleX, the team within Ripple that tries to provide XRP Ledger (XRPL) developers with all the resources they need to build solutions that “fuel the engine of a new digital economy,” wrote about the XRPL Learning Portal.
The xrp registry was established in 2012 by david schwartz, jed mccaleb and arthur britto.
Ripple describes RippleX as "a team that defends the builders of tomorrow by delivering the infrastructure to XRPL developers, tools, services, programs, and support to help them bring forward the solutions and innovation needed to help companies, consumers, institutions and governments that will fuel the new digital economy." RippleX collaborates with the XRPL community to "offer technological improvements, organize events, sponsor hackathons and more."
On 3 October 2022, Ripple introduced the XRP LEDGER Learning Portal, which it describes as “a learning tool that simplifies the learning experience for developers wanting to start building.”
In an XRPL blog post, Ripple said:
“While XRPL.org serves as a central, robust portal for developers of all experience levels to learn about the XRP Ledger, new developers or even those well-versed in Web 3 face a higher barrier to entry when getting started with a new blockchain… The XRPL learning portal provides developers with a simple and interactive way to begin their journey on the Web 3. Developers can create their learning paths—whether they start by getting acquainted with the basics of crypto and blockchain or jump right into learning how to code on the XRP Ledger.
“Portal users can explore educational material explaining the XRP Ledger and the many use cases it supports, such as decentralized finance (DeFi) and gaming. In parallel, developers will gain an understanding of the basic characteristics, history and mechanics of the XRP ledger through practical learning modules. Because XRP Ledger is an evolutionary and carbon-neutral blockchain, a sustainable future theme underpins every course...
“The XRPL Learning Portal was designed for developers to navigate their understanding of blockchain and the XRP Ledger at their own pace, with courses catering to Beginner and Intermediate-level developers. For beginners, xrpl learning portal explores subjects like, ‘what is cryptocurrency?’ or ‘what are smart contracts?’ The courses range from 90 to 120 minutes to complete and are intended to facilitate the learning curve for developers who wish to begin building on XRPL.“
Courses currently offered are as follows:
One of these courses that could interest all HODLers XRP is the 90-minute "Intro to the XRPL" starter course, which consists of eight lessons:
On 24 August 2022, BINANCE Academy, which is the educational arm of Binance and was officially launched on 11 December 2018, released a video about XRP — titled “What Is XRP Ledger (XRPL)?| Explained for Beginners” — on its YouTube channel.
Here are a few things that this video points out about XRPL and XRP:
- “XRPL is a decentralised public blockchain built with the purpose to enable a world where tokenized value is exchanged as quickly as information. Xrpl is stable, upgradeable, fast and energy-saving. It has consistently confirmed transactions since its deployment in 2012 while supporting over 1500 transactions per second and transaction speeds of between three and five seconds.“
- “Transactions are cheap. The average transaction cost on the X-ray tube is below a fraction of a hundred.“
- “The XRPL is friendly to our planet. This is the first major blockchain to be certifically net-zero.“
- “The network uses a federated consensus protocol to confirm transactions in which designated independent servers known as validators must come to an agreement on the order and outcome of XRP transactions. All verified transactions are processed without a single failure point, as no single participant can decide which transactions are prioritized on their own.“
- “The cryptocurrency native to the XRP Ledger is XRP, a neutral bridge asset that is optimised for payments anywhere. With billions of xrp traded every day, xrp works as an exchange medium to facilitate cross-border payments quickly, cheaply and sustainably. It can also be used to perform transactions on the distributed exchange (dex) of the xrp ledger or engage with tokenized assets.“
- “The main applications of the XRP Ledger are payments. With the help of the XRP ledger, assets can be moved around the world, allowing for almost instantaneous cash transfers for remittances, cash payments, paylists and other cross-border payments.“
