XRP Ledger Hits 79 Million Ledgers Amid Mass Adoption
The average number of transactions per ledger varies from 35 to 65.
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has seen mass adoption since its launch in June 2012. Almost 11 years later, the blockchain has processed over 79 million ledgers. The chain crossed the threshold number 79 million earlier today.
XRP Scan, a leading blockchain explorer for the XRP Ledger, called public attention to the impressive feat in a tweet today, noting that the blockchain is currently on track to reach its 80 millionth ledger.

On XRPL, a ledger is a digital record of transactions that have taken place on the network. It contains information about the current state of the ledger, including transaction history and other important data. Each ledger on XRPL is identified by a unique sequence number and is updated every few seconds to reflect the latest transactions on the network.
One of the key features of XRPL is its ability to settle transactions in near real-time, with each ledger being updated every 3-5 second. This makes it an ideal platform for fast and efficient payments and settlements, especially in cross-border transactions. In particular, ledger number 79 million contained 37 transactions, including payments and transactions related to ticket creation.

As of press time, XRPL currently has over 79,010,300 (79.01 million) ledgers, with additional ledgers added every few seconds. The average number of transactions per ledger ranges from 35 to 65, underscoring the huge amount of transactions processed by the XRP Ledger daily.
XRPL adoption surges despite SEC case
This is a testament to the impressive adoption rate the network has achieved as investors and businesses look to leverage it for fast and cost-effective transactions. Last month, Messari, a crypto market intelligence platform, highlighted a rapid increase in XRPL accounts that has persisted since February 2021.
Messari noted that accounts on the blockchain were close to reaching the 5 million mark amid a massive and sustained increase despite external pressure from the US SEC in trial with Ripple.

There has been an emergence of payment solutions that want to take advantage of XRPL for real-time transactions, further strengthening its use. One such solution is DalliPay which allows small businesses to send and receive payments using XRPL.
