Why XRP Ledger?
Q: Mintable has committed to integrating the XRP Ledger for its users. Can you share more on why the XRPL’s performance advantages make it ideally suited to support Mintable’s mission?
A: Mintable’s mission is “to reimagine the NFT experience so that NFTs become a part of daily life.” The XRPL is integral for the adoption and scaling of NFTs on marketplaces. It is a battle-tested and highly secure blockchain that addresses NFT adoption barriers related to security and sustainability concerns.
By adopting one of the first major blockchains to be certified carbon-neutral, our integration with the XRPL addresses one of the most significant barriers — environmental impact.
Another significant barrier for NFT creators and collectors is gas fees on major L2 blockchains. As a comparison, transactions on the XRPL take just 3-5 seconds to process and cost just a fraction of a cent – so cost-effective that it’s virtually free! The XRPL’s low fees and high throughput provide users, creators, and developers with a more sustainable and scalable alternative blockchain for NFTs.
Q: What use cases will Mintable help to unlock once integrated with the XRP Ledger?
Q: What’s one takeaway you want our readers to know about Mintable?
A: We are committed to supporting and being a guiding light to our users, creators, artists, buyers, and traders to maximize their success through a seamless NFT experience.
