Introduction

 * The XRP Ledger was created in 2012, by former Bitcoin developers David Schwartz, Arthur Britto and Jed McCaleb, as an alternative to Bitcoin.
 * One of the most distinguishing (and cool) characteristics of the XRP Ledger is that it has a decentralized exchange - the first of its kind - embedded in the network.
 * A decentralized exchange allows users to exchange value with each other directly, on a peer-to-peer basis, without trusting central operators.
 * The XRP Ledger is open-source technology and can be used by anyone.
