Ripple and XRP‘s quest for mainstream adoption continues, and more good news is heading for the community.
Ripple-backed startup XRPL Labs has just launched a new payments app that’s designed to give store owners an easy way of accepting the digital asset XRP.
XRPayments is available on Android and iOS
The app is called XRPayments, and it became available on both iOS and Android via the App Store and Google Play Store.
The app is able to turn any compatible device into a PoS system, and this allows retailers to accept XRP on the spot.
The founder of XRPL Labs Wietse Wind said that this app would be used at an upcoming XRP meetup in The Netherlands.
XRPayments has a built-in currency converter which allows users from any country to calculate the conversion from fiat currencies to XRP.
XRPL Labs is currently working on other XRP-centered platforms as well, as reported by The Daily Hodl.
- A signing platform that will enable users to access their funds on mobile devices and send and receive XRP
- A mobile cold storage OS which will offer XRP holders a secure app to create and manage cold wallets
- A web-based decentralized exchange which will allow users to trade XRP without the need for third parties
