Non-fungible tokens have undoubtedly become a prominent and reputable niche in the decentralized space. Although NFTs have been around for some time, the technology only rose to stardom in 2021, dubbed “the year of NFT,” when it also became Collins dictionary’s word of the year.

The trajectory of NFTs didn’t stop in 2021 however; it kept flying to a greater altitude as it witnessed more adoption, which ushered in more developers, creators, and stakeholders, to mention a few. The stakeholders are the vanguard and promoters of NFT, including investors/enthusiasts and marketplaces. 

What is onXRP NFT Marketplace?

The onXRP NFT marketplace is another epic haven for minting and trading NFTs publicly without third-party interference. It is a trading niche of the onXRP ecosystem co-founded by Kaj Leroy, Bastiaan van Roekel, and Louis de Jong in Q1 2022. The ecosystem is backed by the notably swift and efficient XRPL (XRP Ledger), and as onXRP sounds, the ecosystem incorporates all XRPL activities, making it a flexible and modular ecosystem. 

The marketplace is one of the most exciting features of all existing modules on the ecosystem. It shelters 360 collections of NFTs cutting across eight categories: Arts, Collectibles, Gaming, Music, Photography, Sports, Trading cards, and Utility. Like other marketplaces, investors and enthusiasts can bid on NFTs during auctions, while NFTs are also available for instant purchase. NFTs listed on this marketplace are priced and bought in XRP tokens since they are classified as XRPL NFTs.

What are XRPL NFTs?

XRPL NFTs are XLS-20 token standards representing NFTs created on the XRP Ledger. Like all decentralized tokens, they have their respective standard indicating the network where they are minted, the XLS-20 is the token standard for all NFTs minted on the XRP Ledger. 

Are you confused about XRP Ledger and Ripple?

Let’s briefly douse that misconception.

Ripple is a financial enterprise that built its global payment network on a public blockchain network called XRP Ledger (XRPL). The XRPL was created by Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen in 2012, making XRP the native token of the network and used in cross-border payments. Since XRPL is an open-source network, it allows anyone to participate in its development; this led to the onboarding of the onXRP ecosystem on XRPL.

So now you understand why onXRP, Ripple, and XRPL have different founders/co-founders.

Before unveiling the XLS-20 token standard, Ripple had committed $250 million to explore NFT innovation on XRPL. The initiative turned out interesting, leading to the development of a compact and efficient XLS-20 which has no adverse effect on the XRPL transaction scaling.
