The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is evolving rapidly, and now developers and users can seamlessly integrate its powerful blockchain capabilities directly into MetaMask — one of the most widely used crypto wallets in the world. With XRPL Snap, the first fully featured Snap for MetaMask, interacting with the XRPL has never been easier or more secure.
Whether you're a developer building decentralized applications or a user looking to manage XRP and XRPL-based assets like NFTs, XRPL Snap brings all the functionality of the XRP Ledger right into your MetaMask interface.

What Is XRPL Snap?
XRPL Snap is a plugin extension for MetaMask that enables full interaction with the XRP Ledger. As a MetaMask Snap, it operates securely within the wallet’s environment, leveraging MetaMask's existing key management system while adding native support for XRPL transactions, account creation, and asset management.
This means you no longer need a separate XRPL wallet — everything you need is accessible from your familiar MetaMask interface.
Core Features at a Glance
- Create and manage an XRPL account derived from your MetaMask seed
- View real-time account balances and transaction history
- Sign and submit custom transactions directly to the XRPL
- Support for mainnet, testnet, and custom node connections
- Built-in NFT support for XRPL’s token standards
- Destination address risk checks powered by xrplorer
- Open-source with comprehensive documentation for developers
These features make XRPL Snap not just a utility tool, but a gateway for broader adoption of the XRP Ledger in the Web3 ecosystem.
Why Use XRPL Snap?
The XRP Ledger is known for its speed, low cost, and energy efficiency. However, until now, integrating it into mainstream Ethereum-centric workflows required switching wallets or using third-party bridges. XRPL Snap closes this gap.
By embedding XRPL functionality inside MetaMask, users gain:
- Unified wallet experience: No more toggling between different wallets. Manage both Ethereum-based tokens and XRP in one place.
- Enhanced developer flexibility: Build dApps that interact with both EVM and non-EVM chains using a single interface.
- Improved security: Since XRPL Snap derives keys from your existing MetaMask account and never stores them externally, your funds remain as secure as your MetaMask wallet.

Key Functionalities Explained
✅ XRPL Account in MetaMask
Upon installation, XRPL Snap automatically generates an XRPL account linked to your MetaMask address. This account uses hierarchical deterministic (HD) derivation, ensuring that your private keys are never exposed outside MetaMask’s secure environment.
You can create multiple XRPL accounts if needed, all tied back to your original recovery phrase.
✅ Real-Time Account Information
Need to check your XRP balance or verify your account status? With just a few clicks, XRPL Snap fetches up-to-date information including:
- Total XRP balance
- Token holdings (IOUs and issued currencies)
- Sequence number and flags
- Owner count and reserve requirements
All this data is pulled directly from the ledger via trusted nodes.
✅ Sign and Submit Any Transaction
From simple payments to complex escrow setups or trustline creations, XRPL Snap allows you to construct and sign any type of XRPL transaction.
You can:
- Send XRP to any address
- Issue or trade IOUs
- Create NFTs (via supported tools)
- Set up payment channels
- Manage account permissions
Once signed, transactions are broadcasted to the network with minimal latency.
✅ Transaction History Lookup
Transparency matters. XRPL Snap lets you retrieve your full transaction history directly from the ledger. Filter by date, type, or status — ideal for audits, tracking payments, or debugging dApp interactions.
✅ Multi-Network Support
Developers love flexibility. XRPL Snap supports:
- Mainnet – For live transactions and production apps
- Testnet – For testing features without spending real XRP
- Custom nodes – For enterprises or private networks
This makes it perfect for testing new features or deploying internal blockchain solutions.
✅ Native NFT Support
The XRP Ledger introduced NFT capabilities through the Non-Fungible Token Amendments (NFToken). XRPL Snap supports these standards, allowing users to:
- Mint NFTs directly from compatible interfaces
- View owned NFTs in their wallet
- Transfer or burn tokens securely
As the XRPL NFT ecosystem grows, this integration ensures you stay ahead of the curve.
✅ Destination Address Risk Check
Security is built in. Before signing any transaction, XRPL Snap performs a risk assessment on the destination address using data from xrplorer, a trusted analytics platform.
You’ll receive warnings if the address is:
- Linked to known scams
- Associated with high-risk exchanges
- Previously involved in fraudulent activity
This proactive layer helps prevent irreversible losses on a finality-based ledger.
✅ Open Source & Developer-Friendly
XRPL Snap isn’t just for end users — it’s a powerful tool for developers. The entire codebase is open source and comes with detailed documentation covering:
- API references
- Integration guides
- Example projects
- Error handling best practices
Build your own dApp with native XRPL support using JavaScript, TypeScript, or any framework compatible with MetaMask.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sign and submit XRPL transactions directly through MetaMask?
Yes. Once installed, XRPL Snap allows you to sign and broadcast transactions to the XRP Ledger directly from your MetaMask wallet — no external tools required.
Is XRPL Snap free to use?
Yes, the Snap itself is completely free. However, standard network fees (transaction costs on the XRPL) still apply when submitting transactions.
How are my keys stored and secured?
Your keys are never stored by XRPL Snap. They are derived from your MetaMask seed phrase and used only within MetaMask’s secure execution environment (Snap sandbox), ensuring maximum security.
Can I recover my XRPL account if I lose access?
Yes. As long as you have your MetaMask recovery phrase, you can restore both your Ethereum and XRPL accounts. The derivation path is deterministic and consistent across installations.
Are transactions on the XRPL reversible?
No. Like most blockchains, once a transaction is confirmed on the XRP Ledger, it is final and irreversible. That’s why XRPL Snap includes pre-signing validations and risk checks to minimize errors.
Does XRPL Snap work with hardware wallets?
Currently, it works with software-based MetaMask accounts. Support for hardware wallet integration may be added in future updates depending on MetaMask Snap capabilities.
XRPL Snap represents a major leap forward in interoperability between Ethereum-based tools and the XRP Ledger. It empowers developers to build cross-chain applications while giving users a smoother, safer way to engage with XRPL assets — all without leaving their trusted wallet.
Whether you're exploring decentralized finance, launching NFTs, or building enterprise-grade solutions, XRPL Snap puts the power of the XRP Ledger at your fingertips.
