XRP is the main currency used on this platform and can be paid as easily as any currency or card. Ripple It has its own patented technology, the Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm (RPCA), in order to verify transactions. The idea of Ripple and XRP as a CBDC template is currently affirmed by many banks because it is highly centralized and based on a permissioned network. Only certain network nodes can verify transactions, unlike decentralized and permissionless Bitcoin and Ethereum.”
