XRP is a digital asset built for payments. It enables real-time global payments anywhere in the world. As the native digital asset on the XRP Ledger, XRP can settle transactions in 3-5 seconds with minimal energy consumption compared to proof-of-work cryptocurrencies.

How does the XRP Ledger work?

The XRP Ledger uses a consensus protocol called the XRP Ledger Consensus Protocol. Unlike Bitcoin's proof-of-work, it doesn't require mining. Instead, a network of independent validators reaches agreement on which transactions to process. This makes it faster, more cost-effective, and more energy-efficient.

What makes XRP Tundra unique in the XRP ecosystem?

Sending and receiving XRP is fast and inexpensive, but there are a few critical details to understand to avoid costly mistakes, especially when dealing with exchanges or custodial wallets.
This guide will walk you through the safe way to send and receive XRP, including destination tags, memos, fees, and best practices.

1. Understanding Destination Tags & Memos

Unlike many cryptocurrencies, XRP uses Destination Tags (or memos) to identify specific users or sub-accounts within shared wallets.

Destination Tag: A numeric code (e.g., 104582) required by some services to route your deposit correctly.
Memo: A text or alphanumeric field used by certain platforms (often instead of a tag).

If you forget to include the correct tag or memo when sending to an exchange, your funds may be lost or require recovery.

2. How to Send XRP Safely

Step-by-step:

Copy the recipient’s wallet address from the exchange, wallet, or contact.
Check if a Destination Tag or Memo is required.
In your wallet app (Xaman, GemWallet, Ledger, etc.): paste the address, enter the tag/memo, set the amount, review, then confirm.

3. How to Receive XRP Safely

Provide your wallet address and, if required, a Destination Tag.
For personal wallets (Xaman, GemWallet, Ledger), you usually do not need a tag.
If receiving from an exchange, ensure the sender includes your tag.

4. Transaction Fees on the XRP Ledger

Fees are extremely low, often less than $0.01.
Fees are not paid to miners but are burned, making XRP slightly deflationary.
During high network load, fees may increase slightly but remain minimal.

5. Common Mistakes to Avoid

Sending without the required tag or memo → Funds may be lost or stuck.
Copying the wrong address → Always double-check.
Sending to unsupported wallets → Some exchanges may not support XRP.
Falling for phishing links → Only use official apps/websites.
Skipping a test transaction → Always test with a small amount first.

6. Recovery If Something Goes Wrong

If you send to the wrong address or without a tag to an exchange, contact support immediately.
If you send to the wrong address in a personal wallet, transactions are irreversible.

Final Takeaway

Sending XRP is fast and cheap, but precision matters.
Always check the address, tag/memo, and amount before sending.
A 10-second double-check can save you from losing funds permanently.
