🧠 XRPL EP.1 — Hashing & Encryption: Foundations of the Ledger
The fintech revolution is coming, and at its core lies one of the most underrated innovations of our time — the blockchain ledger. This isn’t just about cryptocurrencies or buzzwords. It’s about the raw cryptographic power that makes trustless, decentralized finance possible.
Welcome to Episode 1 of our new video series breaking down the XRP Ledger (XRPL) — one concept at a time.
🔐 What’s Inside:
In this episode, we dive into the two cryptographic pillars behind the XRPL and modern blockchain systems:
- Hashing: Immutable fingerprints for any data
- Encryption: Protecting the integrity and privacy of transactions
- Why Hashing ≠ Encryption (and why that matters)
- How the XRPL uses these concepts under the hood
Whether you're new to Web3 or building on XRPL, these are tools you must understand.
📦 Why It Matters:
Most developers know what a hash function is. Fewer understand why it's critical in blockchain consensus, how it supports immutability, or how encryption standards impact financial systems at scale.
This series will bridge that gap — starting here.
⚙️ Tech Stack Mentioned:
- SHA-256
- Public/Private Key Encryption
- XRP Ledger’s core protocol
🧪 Who This Is For:
- Blockchain developers
- Fintech engineers
- XRPL builders
- Anyone curious about real-world cryptography in action
📢 Follow the series — we’ll be breaking down the XRPL layer by layer, from consensus algorithms to smart contract integration (Hooks), and more.
