Ripple (XRP) works as both- a cryptocurrency and a digital payment network for online financial transactions. Ripple operates on an open source and decentralized peer-to-peer platform that allows for a seamless transfer of revenue in any form. The digital currency, XRP acts as a bridge to other currencies, because it does not discriminate between the types of currency (Fiat/Crypto) and hence makes exchanging a lot easier. The Ripple platform has its own protocol which is based on a shared database or ledger that uses the consensus process, which makes exchanges, transactions, and payments of money in a distributed process. The major advantage is the mathematical algorithms and a cryptocurrency that obeys fixed rules, which makes Ripple more secure and reliable.
