The post XRP Tundra Activates Your XRP Investment appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) operates on a Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus protocol called the Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm (RPCA), a system fundamentally different from Proof-of-Stake (PoS) or Proof-of-Work (PoW). Validators do not compete for blocks or lock tokens to participate; instead, they confirm transactions through deterministic voting rounds. Each validator uses a trusted Unique Node List (UNL) to reach consensus every few seconds, securing finality without requiring mining or staking. This approach gives XRP its key advantages: sub-second confirmation times, minimal energy consumption, and near-zero transaction costs. However, because validators earn no block rewards and the protocol has no inflationary mechanism, XRP does not provide native yield. Unlike Solana or Ethereum, where stakers earn returns from validation fees or token issuance, XRP holders derive their gains solely from the token’s utility, rather than network rewards. That technical limitation created an opening for external staking logic. XRP Tundra enters that space by building verified, transparent reward systems directly on top of the Ledger’s architecture, giving holders the ability to earn without changing how XRP achieves consensus. How XRP Tundra Turns Passive Holdings Into On-Chain Participation XRP Tundra’s Cryo Vaults are designed to extend XRPL functionality without altering its base protocol. Each one operates as a time-locked on-ledger contract, where users can commit XRP or TUNDRA tokens for a chosen duration, typically 7, 30, 60, or 90 days. Once the lock period expires, both the principal and the accrued yield are released automatically. The system connects to Solana through a verified bridge, allowing network rewards generated from TUNDRA-S liquidity pools to flow back to vault participants on XRPL. This integration preserves XRP’s non-custodial nature while creating a transparent, self-executing staking model. Unlike centralized exchange programs, which require users to surrender custody, Cryo Vaults maintain complete on-chain visibility. Each staking transaction and maturity…
