Overview

XRP E-Gateway (XEG) is a middleware gateway service that enables enterprises, exchanges and developers to integrate with the XRP blockchain.

The primary function of XEG is to support interactions between XRP and other business applications and/or services through a combination of a HTTP/S API and web hooks. XEG operates as a stateless intermediary, enabling interactions without retaining any data.

System Overview

XEG runs as a separate java program to XRP, and can be deployed easily by setting up the XEG java program as a background service on a single server instance.

The XEG service must be configured to connect to a XRP node via the XRP node's RPC port.

Single server deployment

A single server deployment scenario is suitable for a sandbox environment supporting a proof of concept, or pilot use case. It can also be used for small standalone production deployments where resource constraints exist or low usage volume is expected.
