About

The RipplePay concept seems to have evolved from a user-oriented, distributed system to a service being sold to large banks. The major phases:

  • About Ripple ("classic" RipplePay): p2p personal credit concept
  • ripple.com: blockchain-based banking services, offered under the brand-name "Ripple".
