[1/π§΅] #XRPLedger's Green β»οΈ Agenda 2030 β Part 2/2
#XRPL, the leading and first prominent #DLT to achieve π carbon neutrality π
Part 2 of this series will teach you all you need to know about the #eco-friendliness of #XRP, the digital asset. π§΅π
[2/26] β οΈ IMPORTANT NOTICE!
This is typically a heated topic. That is why I will do my best to be neutral, clear, and factual. Expect no guesstimates or personal opinions on this subject.
Everything is stated exactly as it is!
[3/26] If you haven't already, I highly recommend reading part 1 of this lengthy series to get a feeling of the magnitude of the undertaking that @Ripple is leading in this domain with the help of the #XRPL. π
[4/26] π To cover everything, we shall go through the following:
β’ Why #Blockchain? (introduction)
β’ Who is utilizing the #XRPL, why, and how?
β’ Why will all #carbon markets be based on #NFTs?
β’ #Eco-impact assessment (comparison)
β’ Summary & Viewpoints of thought leaders
[5/26] π IntroductionβWhy does it have to be #Blockchain?
[6/26] π Who is utilizing the #XRPL, why, and how?
β Why? #Thallo addresses today's carbon market's #liquidity and opaque pricing #data issues, making it simpler for buyers and sellers of high-quality #carbon#credits to connect.
β How? #Thallo uses #Ripple's business readiness and carbon neutral #XRPL's resiliency to democratize access to verified #carbon credits for both institutional and individual investors by building a marketplace for this sector.
β Why?
Building construction accounts for ~10% of all worldwide #greenhouse gas #emissions. Lighting, heating & cooling buildings provide an extra 28% of #emissions.
β How? #CarbonTitle is a transparent, and cost-effective solution to offset the #climate impact of buildings by leveraging #XRPL to validate #carbon neutrality claims and enforce #traceability.
β Why?
Reduce expenses and enhance company operations with a proven technique that decreases cement content and makes it more #sustainable by lowering its #carbon footprint.
β How? #Xange can reduce fraud and offer a clear #framework and audit trail for other #carbon trading enterprises to emulate by leveraging the #XRPL.
βοΈ In contrast to #fungible#tokens, which are non-unique and divisible and are used to store value, #NFTs are non-replicable and are usually used to store #data.
. . .
[17/26] . . .
#CO2-credit #NFTs must be unique, have an individual value depending on #carbon reduction, and verify that #credits have not (or have)Β been sold to numerous customers, allowing the credits to be traced back to the source and thus increasing #transparency.
. . .
[18/26] . . .
In the process of "#MRV", the objective is to eliminate "double counting" and trace the whole lifespan of a tonne of #carbon.
βοΈ It is all about effectively gathering #data, storing it in an #immutable manner, and making it available to the buyer.
. . .
[19/26] . . .
π§ To achieve all of the requirements, the tool of choice must be able to store #metadata such as project origin, region, and methodology used.
Furthermore, not all #NFT#credits are created equal and should thus be valued differently based on "quality."
. . .
[20/26] . . .
π #Carbon credits can thus only be implemented as #NFTs since they must display each & every #credit that was created (#mint), the properties of that #credit (#metadata), who sold it (#trace), & when it was retired (#burn).
β #NFTs will be around for a long time
β They will have a significant influence on how the #carbon#credit#market operates in the future
β #Transparency is essential, and it is not the adversary

The TL;DR is that pDomains are restricted environments on the XRPL that let users with permission use certain functions within the domain, like a DEX, in case the user owns the correct credentials. π§
[1/π§΅] The bullrun seems to be just around the corner, and everyone is teasing us with yield and XRPFi protocols. π§
Regardless of whether you decide to hold or sell...
Let's take a look at "Lending" and check if it's worth it. π
[2/14] β 1β£ Money Markets β
Before we do just that, let's quickly clarify a specific word first.
Behind the terms "Lending" and "Borrowing" actually hides another term that you will see from time to time:
πΈ Money Markets
[3/14] β 2β£ Money Markets β
Besides AMMs, lending is currently the most important pillar for on-chain DeFi, as it removes the middleman in the pooling, management, and lending of funds.
The goal? π€¨
Positive yield or in other words, interest on the liquidity you provide.
[1/π§΅] A MASSIVE attack on the JavaScript ecosystem is currently underway. βΉοΈ
Since JavaScript is at the heart of what we use every day to browse the internet, you MUST be extra vigilant.
Let's take a look at a possible solution for the XRP ecosystem. ππ§΅
[2/13] β 1β£ First things first β
Although the entire JavaScript ecosystem is at risk, the malware appears to be targeting only a few blockchain ecosystems, based on the addresses it uses to steal funds:
βΌοΈ At risk π
[3/13] β 2β£ First things first β
The reason this is such a big deal is because of the sheer volume of weekly downloads of the maliciously patched packages.
[1/π§΅] You've probably heard about new yield opportunities with XRP that promise a return of around 20% APY. π§
How much truth is there to this, and what happens if you actually connect to @moremarketsxyz and deposit funds? π
[2/14] β 1β£ First things first β
π I want you to repeat after me:
"I will not deposit all my XRP into completely new DeFi protocols right after their launch, no matter the yield"
[3/14] β 2β£ First things first β
When you join any DeFi protocol, start with very small amounts (e.g., 1 XRP) to get a feel for how things work, and try to regularly withdraw everything to test whether you can realize your profits with the protocol or not. π
[1/π§΅] What's still upcoming and in the pipeline for the XRP Ledger? π§
My attempt to summarize what the brilliant @aanchalmalhotre "casually" laid out in a 25-minute talk at XRPL Apex this year. π
[2/15] β 1β£ Key-Challenges β
Privacy and compliance are at odds with each other, and balance is key.
A lot of what the TradFi world is used to and expects still doesn't exist or is purposefully different in blockchains, like transparent transactions or low confidentiality.
[3/15] β 2β£ Key-Challenges β
Institutions also expect their on-chain operations, aka transactions, to be highly customizable and controllable because of factors like internal risk management.
π They expect the XRPL to be programmable for their dedicated policies.
With all these new integrations and partnerships, I bet you are pretty much overwhelmed by all the alien-like jargon. π€¨
A little vocabulary crash course ahead π
[2/20] β 1β£ Overview β
What just happened today is nothing less than the complete onboarding of the XRPL to the vast and entire web3 blockchain ecosystem (+ Bridging protocols and available liquidity).
π All via the XRPLEVM sidechain, Axelar and @squidrouter.
[3/20] β 2β£ Overview β
What does this mean in practice? π§
πΈ New tokens on the XRPL DEX (bridged by @axelar)
πΈ Literal (and easy) any-to-any swaps (via Squid)
πΈ Liquidity from the entire web3 ecosystem (via CORAL)
πΈ Bridged XRP accessible on 80+ chains (through XRPLEVM)
