Ripple revolutionized the world of digital payments with its innovative blockchain technology. Ripple was founded by a group of visionary individuals who believed in the power of decentralized finance. Let's give some names to the co-workers of Ripple:
Ripple, a prominent blockchain-based digital payment protocol, was co-founded by Chris Larsen and Jed McCaleb in 2012. Chris Larsen, a seasoned entrepreneur, and Jed McCaleb, known for his work with the eDonkey network and the creation of Mt. Gox, combined their expertise to develop Ripple. Their goal was to facilitate secure, instant, and nearly free global financial transactions of any size without chargebacks.
Larsen and McCaleb's work focused on creating the Ripple protocol and its consensus ledger, which enabled real-time gross settlement, currency exchange, and remittance. This innovation aimed to improve the inefficiencies of the traditional banking system by providing a decentralized platform that allowed for seamless and transparent financial transactions across borders.
