However, on XRPL Labs’ official website, it is stated that the three developers will be working on Signing Platform (App), Decentralized Exchange UI, and Cold Storage OS for XRP.
Signing Platform is an app that makes people interact with the XRP ledger from their smartphone (iOS/Android).
The app also makes it easy for people to sign transactions and keep their XRP safe by allowing 3rd party applications to send Sign Requests to their mobile device. The app, according to an update, supports Decentralised exchanges and DEX and MultiSign.
Meanwhile, the Decentralized Exchange UI can be used to view, create and cancel offers on the XRP ledger Decentralized Exchange. With it, it is easy to trade XRP for IOU’s using browser.
Also, the Cold Storage OS that is being worked on by the XRPL Labs can be used on a cheap laptop. Once Linux-based XRPL Cold Storage OS created by XRPL Labs is installed on the laptop, user can store their “keypairs and secrets, safe and encrypted, and compose and sign transactions offline and submit their transactions airgapped”. According to XRPL Labs, the Cold Storage is completely airgapped.
With the new investment, Wietse wind’s XRPL Labs is going to be introducing many a number of innovations into the community and hopefully, this may speedily birth XRP adoption.
