XRPL Ecosystem Guide
Hundreds of apps build on the XRP Ledger, but they share one exchange, one set of tokens and one NFT standard, so an app is mostly a way in. This map is drawn from what happens on the ledger: where trades are placed, where NFTs sell and where tokens are launched.

- Money: RLUSD, USDC and the older gateway dollars, with live supply (the ledger’s built-in finance).
- Wallets: phone, browser and hardware, compared on what each actually supports (wallet guide).
- Bridges: tokens from other chains arrive through Axelar; their price gap is tracked live (bridge premium tracker).
- Other networks: the XRPL EVM sidechain runs Ethereum-style contracts; Xahau is a separate network with Hooks.
- Building: libraries for every major language and the APIs to read the ledger (developer resources).
