XRP Ledger sits at the centre of one of the most significant financial infrastructure networks in the world.

The Ripple ecosystem spans cross-border payment corridors used by financial institutions across Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and beyond, with partners including SBI Holdings and over 300 financial institutions on RippleNet.

The rails are real. The transaction volume is real. The institutional adoption is real. Running serious financial infrastructure on XRPL demands serious infrastructure underneath it. That's what Ankr provides. Ankr now provides RPC infrastructure for XRP Ledger, delivering the reliable, enterprise-grade node layer that protocols, financial institutions, and enterprise teams building on XRPL depend on.

What makes XRPL different for enterprise

XRPL was designed from the ground up for financial use cases. It settles transactions in 3-5 seconds. Fees are fractions of a cent regardless of transaction size. The network has operated continuously since 2012.

But beyond the performance metrics, what makes XRPL genuinely distinctive for enterprise is its architecture. Unlike most blockchains that bolt financial functionality onto a general-purpose smart contract layer, XRPL builds financial primitives directly into the protocol. Payment channels, a native decentralised exchange, cross-currency settlement, multi-signing, and escrow are all available at the protocol level, not as third-party contracts with their own risk surface, but as core network functionality that has been running and battle-tested for over a decade.

For teams building payment infrastructure, custody solutions, or compliance tooling, that distinction matters. Protocol-level functionality means fewer dependencies, fewer attack surfaces, and a more predictable execution environment than smart contract-based alternatives. These are not blockchain marketing claims. They are operational facts that matter to treasury teams, compliance officers, and engineers building production financial systems.

Why RPC infrastructure matters at this level

For enterprise teams, the RPC layer is not a commodity. It's the connection point between your application and the network, and its reliability, latency, and security characteristics directly affect your product's performance and your users' experience.

A compromised or unreliable RPC node can return incorrect data, create latency that affects transaction throughput, or simply go down at the worst possible moment. For a payment application processing real value at scale, none of those outcomes are acceptable.

Ankr's distributed node network addresses this at the infrastructure level. Globally distributed nodes across multiple regions ensure low latency regardless of where your users are. Redundancy across the network means no single point of failure. And Ankr's verifiable RPC technology, which cryptographically signs responses inside attested hardware enclaves, ensures that the data your application receives is exactly what the network returned, without the possibility of tampering or fabrication.

Ankr's role in the XRPL ecosystem

Ankr provides the RPC infrastructure layer connecting builders and enterprises to XRP Ledger, the distributed node network that handles the volume, uptime, and reliability demands of production financial applications.

This is the same infrastructure standard Ankr applies across its enterprise client base, which includes Trust Wallet, Fireblocks, TRM Labs, and Dune Analytics, institutions that cannot afford infrastructure failures.

Ankr is SOC 2 Type II certified. It runs on a private fiber network with 99.99% uptime SLA. It supports dedicated enterprise endpoints for teams that need guaranteed performance and capacity beyond the public tier.

For teams operating in the Ripple ecosystem

If you're building payment infrastructure, custody solutions, compliance tooling, or financial applications on or adjacent to XRP Ledger, the infrastructure layer you choose matters. Ankr provides the RPC layer your production systems can depend on, with the enterprise credentials, technical architecture, and track record to back it up.

Public endpoints are live now. Enterprise accounts with dedicated capacity, SLA guarantees, and direct support are available for teams that need more.
