The XRP Ledger (often called Ripple in market contexts) is payment-centric: XRP pays transaction fees and serves as a bridge asset, while the protocol includes a built-in DEX, escrows, checks, payment channels, and NFTokens for richer settlement patterns than simple one-hop sends. Bitquery exposes blocks (ledgers), transactions, transfers, payments, balances, offers, and coinpath for both XRP and issued assets.

What You Can Query​

  • Blocks — ledger indexes, close times, and consensus-advanced ledger boundaries
  • Transactions — types, outcomes, fees in XRP, and metadata for each validated transaction
  • Payments — path payments, partial payments, and cross-currency settlement fields where the schema models them
  • Transfers — XRP and issued-currency movements between accounts
  • Balances — trust-line and reserve-related views as exposed for addresses and assets
  • Offers — limit orders and liquidity on the ledger’s native decentralized exchange
  • Coinpath — aggregated flows across intermediate steps for complex payment paths

Common Use Cases​

  • Remittance and payments — analyze high-volume payment traffic and bridge use of XRP between corridors
  • DEX and liquidity — monitor offers, fills, and trading-related transactions on the built-in order book
  • Advanced ledger features — study escrows, checks, payment channels, or NFTokens when querying those transaction families
  • Banking and institutional settlement — financial institutions using XRP as a bridge asset or RippleNet corridors can reconcile ledger-level payment flows, escrow releases, and trust-line positions for treasury and regulatory reporting
  • Enterprise escrow and payment channel management — businesses leveraging on-ledger escrows or payment channels for scheduled disbursements or streaming payments can track state changes and settlement outcomes programmatically
