Watch out

  • Exchanges usually share one XRP address between many customers and tell them apart by the destination tag. If the recipient gave a tag, it has to be entered.
  • This is one of the special addresses in the XRP Ledger docs (ACCOUNT_ZERO / ACCOUNT_ONE). No one holds its key; coins sent there are not expected to move.

What this does not proveA valid format only means the address is well-formed. It does not show who controls it or that it is the address the recipient gave. Compare the whole address with the source and send a small test amount first.

FAQ

Do I need a destination tag for XRP?

When the recipient's deposit page shows one, yes. Exchanges share one address between customers and use the tag to tell them apart.

What is an XRP X-address?

A format that packs the classic address and the destination tag into one string, so the tag cannot be forgotten. Not every service accepts it.
