The R-address (public address) is XRP Ledger account address which starts with the letter r.

Step 6 (Optional): To begin transacting on XRPL, deposit at least 10 XRP into your r-address.

Note: 10 XRP is an XRP ledger requirement to get started verifying your account and allows you to start transacting. It is not a XUMM fee to create an account.

Step 7 (Optional): Name your XUMM account.

Congratulations, you’ve just created a wallet for XRPL!

Some points to note: 

  • Be careful! Transactions are permanent. XUMM cannot revert transactions or recover funds if you make a mistake. Transactions are instant and irreversible. 
  • Only you can access your funds with your secret keys, as generated by XUMM or imported into XUMM. The XUMM team cannot access and recover your funds should you make a mistake or lose your secret keys.
