The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a decentralized, public blockchain led by a global community of businesses and developers looking to solve problems and create value. Proven reliable over more than a decade of error-free functioning, the XRPL offers streamlined development, low transaction costs, high performance, and sustainability. It’s fast, energy-efficient, and purpose-built for financial applications such as cross-border payments, tokenization, and decentralized trading.

The XRPL’s strengths set the stage for what’s next: unlocking open, flexible, and powerful public data access.

If you’re a developer building on the XRPL, you’ve likely wrestled with technical APIs or had to stand up custom infrastructure just to analyze trends. If you’re a trader, researcher, or investor, you’ve probably noticed that major analytics platforms have yet to fully integrate the XRPL’s data for easy access and analysis. With momentum building around new protocols and sidechains, the XRPL is stepping into a new era of accessible, structured data tooling.

We’re excited to announce a major analytics integration for the XRPL, made possible through a direct partnership between Baselight, the permissionless data marketplace and analytics hub; XRPScan, the most trusted data provider and explorer in the XRPL ecosystem; and XRPL Commons, a leading community organization dedicated to supporting builders and advancing transparency across the ledger.

XRPL data is now indexed, queryable, and remixable alongside billions of other data points on Baselight!

Unlocking New Possibilities with XRPL Data

The XRPL ecosystem continues to evolve rapidly, with recent protocol enhancements like native AMMS, decentralized identity, and greater support for native stablecoins (like Ripple USD) broadening its technical capabilities and expanding use cases. As adoption scales and real-world integrations deepen, the need for open, structured, and scalable access to ledger data has become increasingly urgent.

That’s where this new integration with Baselight comes in.

By indexing, structuring, and surfacing XRPL data on Baselight in a fully queryable, SQL-native format, developers, researchers, and institutions now have instant access to critical onchain data, all without the friction of running their own infrastructure or parsing opaque APIs.

Even more transformative is the ability to join XRPL data with thousands of other datasets already available on Baselight, including activity on chains like Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain (and many others), macroeconomic indicators, liquidity metrics, and more. This opens the door to novel cross-chain research, compliance automation, and real-time dashboards built on XRPL insights.

This effort complements the ongoing work contributed by community hubs like XRPL Commons, who continue to push for transparent, accessible infrastructure that empowers builders and reinforces the XRPL as a leading protocol in the decentralized ecosystem.

Indexing the XRPL with XRPScan

At the heart of this integration is XRPScan, the long-established block explorer and analytics provider that has served the XRPL community since 2018. Their infrastructure acts as the primary source of truth for thousands of tokens, validator records, and ecosystem signals.

Through direct collaboration, XRPScan’s historical and real-time datasets are now fully normalized, flattened, and optimized for public analytics on Baselight. The result: a high-quality, composable data experience covering a wide range of XRPL dimensions.

What’s Included

The XRPL dataset provides comprehensive data from the XRPL, one of the most efficient and sustainable blockchain networks for payments and tokenization. We are continuously working with the XRPScan team to add more and more XRPL structured data to Baselight. To start, this integration captures rich data across eight key dimensions of the XRPL ecosystem:

• Automated Market Makers (AMMs): Complete liquidity pool data including asset pairs, LP tokens, trading fees, auction slots, and governance voting—everything you need to study decentralized trading mechanics on XRPL.
• Tokens and Currencies: Metadata for all issued tokens beyond native XRP, with details on supply, trustlines, issuers, holder counts, and trading volumes—structured for compliance use cases and token ecosystem mapping.
• Network Metrics: Daily aggregate stats on ledger performance, transaction types and outcomes, account creation trends, and other usage indicators—ideal for macro-level network health analysis.
• Network Nodes: Infrastructure-level data on peer nodes, software versions, connectivity patterns, and uptime—critical for understanding topology and infrastructure evolution.
• Validators: Deep information on validator identities, consensus voting records, performance stats, and operational behavior—essential for security audits and decentralization studies.
• Child Accounts: Information about accounts created through Payment transactions, including parent-child relationships, initial funding amounts, and creation timestamps for analyzing account growth patterns.
• Well-Known Account Names: Registry of verified and notable accounts with their associated metadata, including exchanges, services, and organizations, useful for identity verification and compliance monitoring.
• Account Balances: Current XRP balance information across accounts, providing insights into wealth distribution, liquidity patterns, and network economics at the account level.

All nested JSON structures are transformed into clean, relational tables, making the entire dataset easy to query and join with other data. If you’re building on the XRPL, or part of the XRP Army and have data you want to see on Baselight, please reach out at hello@baselight.ai.
