Ripple Alpha is a virtual currency specializing in payments that do not change value. According to its website, Ripple Alpha is a centralized cryptocurrency based on a transparent management entity. According to the project’s whitepaper, Ripple Alpha aims to establish financial infrastructure as a global currency and change payment methods worldwide and the speed of completing transactions. The currency also claims to have comprehensive payment solutions equivalent to the credit card or QR code payment.

Ripple Alpha Association owns the native token XLA. The protocol intends to secure operating funds by releasing them to the market slowly and constantly year by year, and the association does not require constant sales activity. The association is managed and overseen by association partners. Therefore, the protocol aims to increase the number of associated partners and strengthen the governance, which intends to help the network grow and become a global organization. The Ripple Alpha Association aims to establish itself in seven regions within three years of its launch.

The Ripple Alpha intends to change people’s lives through cross-border transactions in their day-to-day lives. The cryptocurrency seeks to be used for daily activities such as online shopping, convenience stores, taxis, and even paying for lunch with friends. Moreover, the Ripple Alpha Association helps children around the world. According to its website, around 5.6 million children die before turning five because of diseases that can be prevented and treated. The association provides support to children such as education, health, food, and emergency assistance for children living in areas where these diseases are most prevalent.

The project’s cryptocurrency Ripple Alpha is denoted by the ticker XLA. Its whitepaper claims that their native cryptocurrency outperforms several other major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum with high transfer rates and low transaction fees. The token works on the ‘proof of consensus’ consensus mechanism established by the Ripple Alpha Association. The association assures the reliability of the consensus mechanism that there is no risk of fraud or modification. Validators approve the transactions on the protocol. If 80 percent of the validators approve a transaction, then such transaction gets recorded.
