1. What Ripple Is
Ripple is a private enterprise payments company that builds software for banks and financial institutions to move money faster across borders.
Ripple is:
- Company-controlled
- Enterprise-sold
- Bank-integrated
Ripple is not a public economic system.
2. What Ripple Solves
Ripple solves:
- Slow cross-border bank settlement
- Liquidity bridging between fiat currencies
- Messaging and reconciliation for institutions
Ripple does not solve:
- Human identity
- Data ownership
- Personal sovereignty
- Intergenerational continuity
- Citizen-level economics
- Asset diversity beyond payments
3. Ripple’s Core Architecture
- XRP Ledger (XRPL)
- Corporate roadmap control
- Permissioned enterprise integrations
- Centralized issuance influence
- Compliance-first design
XRPL is optimized for banks, not for people or societies.
4. Ripple’s Economic Model
- XRP liquidity utilization
- Enterprise software contracts
- Institutional transaction volume
- Network rent via usage
Ripple’s value flows upward to the company, not outward to users.
5. Where Ripple Breaks
Ripple cannot:
- Support anonymous life-based identity
- Support self-governing communities
- Support real asset diversity
- Support user-created exchanges
- Support equity assets natively
- Support fee-free economies
Ripple is a rail, not a world.
Now the Digital World Framework
The Digital World is not just a payments network. It is a global asset and identity platform that supports:
- Wrapped cryptocurrencies
- Wrapped equities
- Wrapped currencies
- Wrapped private assets
- Wrapped real-world assets
All exchanged:
- In real time
- With no fees
- Across 12+ decentralized exchanges worldwide
- Governed by identity, not institutions
