Ripple Tier-1 Support

Dfns now supports the Ripple blockchain (XRPL) and its native token, XRP, as a Tier 1 blockchain. Developers, fintechs, and financial institutions can access the XRP Ledger through Dfns’ secure wallet infrastructure. This post explains what the Ripple integration includes, how it works, and what it enables.

What is Ripple (XRPL)?

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a public blockchain built for fast and efficient value transfers. It’s known for low transaction fees, high throughput, and settlement in seconds. XRPL does not rely on proof of work or proof of stake. Instead, it uses a consensus protocol based on trusted validators, which allows transactions to finalize quickly with low energy usage.

The network is commonly used for cross-border payments, treasury operations, liquidity management, and tokenized assets. XRP is the native token of the network and is used to pay transaction fees.

Here are a few key concepts relevant to XRPL:

• XRP: The native token of the XRP Ledger, used for transaction fees and liquidity.
• XRP Ledger (XRPL): A decentralized ledger that reaches consensus without mining, enabling fast finality and reliable execution.
• Low transaction costs: Fees are minimal, making XRPL suitable for high-volume payment flows.
• Fast settlement: Transactions typically finalize in a few seconds.
• Signature schemes: XRPL supports both ECDSA (secp256k1) and Ed25519 for signing transactions.

How Dfns supports Ripple (XRPL)

As a Tier 1 blockchain on Dfns, XRPL benefits from full wallet and transaction support with a robust authentication/authorization model and strict policy enforcement. Through this integration, users can:

• Transfer XRP between wallets
• Broadcast transactions to the XRP Ledger
• Check balances from Dfns-managed wallets
• Generate ECDSA or Ed25519 signatures using MPC or HSM
• Receive webhooks for XRPL transactions and ledger events based on indexed data

With the Ripple integration, teams can build payment, treasury, and settlement workflows on the XRP Ledger with confidence. Wallets give clear control over how assets are accessed and moved. Dfns lets clients manage keys, identities, smart contracts, and transactions in one place, so teams can focus on building financial products instead of running blockchain infrastructure.
