NFT Marketplace Mintable Now Supports XRP Ledger (XRPL)

Mintable, a utility-focused web3 platform where non-fungible tokens can be traded and minted, now supports NFTs on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This new development is regarded as a step forward in Mintable’s partnership with Ripple, the US-based cross-border payments firm.

The NFT marketplace which was founded in 2018, aims to bring the carbon-neutral XRP Ledger to the wider non-fungible token community. Hence, allowing NFT enthusiasts to enjoy the uncommon benefits associated with transacting non-fungible tokens on XRPL. 

According to Mintable, it would support and incentivize NFT creators who choose to innovate on the XRP Ledger as well as traders who collect NFTs on the blockchain.

You Can Now Mint and Trade XRPL-Based NFTs on Mintable

Mintable, ranked 112 on the list of top NFT marketplaces by DappRadar, announced on Thursday that the platform has launched support for non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). By implication, NFT enthusiasts can now buy, sell, and mint NFTs on the XRP Ledger securely and with very low charges required. 

Mintable, which automatically aggregates all NFTs on Ethereum and Immutable X, also disclosed that its support for the XRP Ledger stems from the fact that XRPL is a fast and energy-efficient blockchain for the tokenization of assets. Additionally, the update added that the XRP Ledger is almost free to use, battle-tested, and scalable with robust security. 

In relation, Mintable said it will collaborate with Ripple, “to bring creators and developers together to enable the creation of high-quality NFT projects and provide a no-code solution for independent creators on the XRPL.” More so, Mintable added that it will allow recipients from Ripple’s Creator Fund to bring their NFTs to market on the XRP Ledger.

Aside from serving as an NFT marketplace, Mintable also has a service labeled Mintology that provides NFT solutions for enterprises.
