Ripple’s Xpring will be launching a platform where it will become possible for the developers to integrate fiat and crypto payments into any application as we are about to read further in the ripple news today.
The suite of the new services will include Ripple’s xpring software development kit which will allow the programmers to integrate XRP apps in multiple programming languages. It will also include new tools that can be used on both XRP and Ripple’s Interledger protocol. Xpring is targeting the crypto and non-crypto developers with the platform such as this one according to the vice president of the company Ethan Beard:
“Xpring SDK allows you the developer to use the XRP ledger simply and in any programming language you want. What takes a developer today a 100 lines of code to do a transaction on XRP ledger, using Xpring SDK cuts that down by 80 percent.”
Xpring is already built on open-source protocols but the new platform will function like the Amazon Web Services according to Beard. The developers will be able to download the code and run it for themselves or they will go to Xpring and plug into the service. Beard believes that the platform will be used to enable micropayments in industries such as gaming and media:
Xpring has already been built on open-source protocols, but this platform would function like Amazon Web Services, Beard said. Developers could download the code and run it themselves, or now they can go to Xpring and plug into the service.
“Ideally, we think the Xpring platform can work for any type of payment.’’
The platform is a very new thing for Xpring which is the investment arm of Ripple with the aim to build a network of companies and use-cases around XRP for more than a year. This initiative aims to invest and grow the developer base for the cryptocurrency. Beard pointed out as we read in the latest cryptocurrency news:
“While blockchain and cryptocurrency can be transformative for how payments work, what we’ve learned in the last year is that working with these new technologies is quite difficult as well. That creates a barrier for developers to adopt these technologies.”
As a part of the announcement, Xpring also stated that the payments processor BitPay will all the XRP token to their offerings along with the BRD wallet and digital custody provider Anchorage. The company also believes that users will be able to use XRP for everyday purchases.
