XRPL Commons Launches to Empower the Global XRPL Community

Paris, France - XRPL Commons, a new non-profit association focused on educating and empowering the global XRP Ledger (XRPL) community, is excited to announce its launch.

With a mission to nurture a vibrant XRP Ledger ecosystem, XRPL Commons aims to provide education, hands-on building programs, and resources for the XRPL community worldwide.

“We are called ‘Commons’ because our team believes that fostering the growth of the open-source XRPL blockchain ecosystem can help develop its potential to address crucial social issues and promote the use of blockchain technology for a better future. Our focus will encompass regenerative finance, financial inclusion, and intellectual property, leveraging all the building blocks of Web3.” says David Bchiri, President of XRPL Commons. The former software engineer turned entrepreneur has participated in building Tech communities in Paris and San Francisco over the last 15 years, and is a blockchain enthusiast.

XRPL Commons is committed to supporting the development of impactful use cases for the XRP Ledger. The association’s aim is to assist developers and businesses in comprehending the potential of the XRP Ledger and leveraging its capabilities to generate innovative and pioneering solutions.

With the opening of our hub, just a few steps from the Pompidou Center in the heart of Paris, XRPL Commons aims to be a hub for developers, innovators, researchers, startups, corporations, non-profits, investors, and all game changers who believe in the utility of Web3 for a more fairer society.

This new independent initiative will work alongside the XRP Ledger Foundation and Ripple, who support the XRPL community via a variety of initiatives including the University Blockchain Research Initiatives (UBRI) and the XRPL Grants program.

Recently, XRPL Commons held a Happy Hour during the Paris Blockchain Week, introducing the association's upcoming programs and initiatives.
