The topic of the upcoming XRPL Commons Aquarium cohort #7 will be announced soon. In the meantime, check out our past cohorts to get an idea of our immersive residency program.

The Aquarium Residency's upcoming cohort will focus on innovative applications of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) across various domains. While the specific theme is yet to be announced, participants can expect to explore the XRPL's transformative potential to be adapted to innovative use cases.

Residents will delve into XRPL's unique features, including its fast settlement times of 3-5 seconds, low transaction costs, and ability to handle up to 1,500 transactions per second. These characteristics make XRPL an ideal platform for building scalable, cost-effective solutions across multiple sectors.

The 12-week program will encourage participants to leverage XRPL's capabilities, such as its built-in decentralized exchange (DEX) and native liquidity pools, to create innovative applications. Entrepreneurs and developers will have the opportunity to explore real-world asset tokenization, cross-border payments, and other use cases that benefit from XRPL's efficiency and security.

Collaboration will be a key focus throughout the residency, with participants sharing insights and co-creating projects that harness XRPL's unique features. The cohort aims to challenge traditional models and push the boundaries of what's possible with blockchain technology, potentially revolutionizing areas such as finance, regeneration, or digital identity.

This immersive experience in the heart of Paris will provide entrepreneurs with the resources, mentorship, and ecosystem connections needed to accelerate their projects on the XRP Ledger. By participating in the Aquarium Residency, innovators will have the chance to shape the future of decentralized applications and contribute to the growing XRPL ecosystem.
