Ripple may not be the most popular company in the cryptocurrency space, but its persistence and desire to grow despite setbacks deserves credit. RippleX is a branch of Ripple focused on advancing technology development around XRP Ledger and recently provided $2 million to promote NFT solutions.
RippleX Fund 25 Selected Applicant for NFT Project
This announcement was released today by Ripple developers. RippleX distributed a total of $2 million in funds to 25 selected applicants from 10 different countries.
The focus of these applications is the development of open-source projects that deal with XRP Ledger or NFT on XRPL.
Although Ripple has long been focused on providing a fast and affordable payment network, developers seem to be looking for ways to unlock the potential of the blockchain and adapt it to the new era. While NFT is hugely popular, it’s an odd use case for the XRP ecosystem.
RippleX mentioned that it received more than a hundred suggestions, but the most exciting suggestions focused on the following topics:
Develop NFTs for various industries (retail, art, music, sports, digital advertising, and carbon capture).
Learning tools and platforms that build on and interact with XRPL
Data visualisation tools
Payment and security solutions
Incompatibility with NFTs, XRPL can significantly expand its user base and even begin to provide services in strategic areas such as identity digitisation, advertising models and supply chains for specific corporate customers.
