XRPL Address Lookup

How to search any XRP Ledger address and understand what you find.

Understanding XRPL Addresses

XRPL addresses are derived from cryptographic public keys using the XRP Ledger's base58 encoding. They always start with "r" and are 25–35 characters long. Each address represents a unique account on the XRP Ledger. Addresses are case-sensitive.

How to Perform an XRPL Address Lookup

Enter any XRPL address into the Explore XRPL search bar. The explorer will automatically detect that it is an account address (starting with "r") and navigate to the account detail page. You can also navigate directly to /account/[address] if you know the address.

Understanding Account Reserves

Every XRPL account must maintain a minimum XRP balance called the base reserve (currently 2 XRP). Additional reserve is required for each object the account owns (trustlines, offers, escrows, etc.) at 0.2 XRP per object. This reserve cannot be spent and is returned if the objects are removed.

Account Flags

XRPL accounts can have various flags set that control their behavior: RequireDestTag (require destination tags on incoming payments), DisallowXRP (signal that XRP should not be sent to this account), DefaultRipple (enable rippling on trustlines), and more. These flags are visible on the account detail page.
