XRP wasn't created as just another token—it was engineered from the ground up to solve real payment challenges. The architecture prioritizes speed: transactions settle in just 2-3 seconds, eliminating the delays that plague traditional cross-border transfers. This real-time value movement capability makes it fundamentally different from many blockchain assets.
What sets it apart is the versatility. Whether you're an institution moving large volumes or an individual sending funds internationally, XRP's design accommodates both use cases seamlessly. Ripple continues building products on the XRPL specifically because the ledger's foundation was optimized for payment efficiency from day one. It's payment-first design meets institutional-grade infrastructure.

2-3 seconds settlement? Sounds good, but what about real-world applications? Where are they all?

These years, I've been earning a fortune from free XRP airdrops. Honestly, I understood the 2-3 second settlement time long ago. The key question is, can I still cut the leeks now?
