Ripple has announced its first round of XRPL grants, demonstrating its commitment to the NFT craze. RippleX distributed $2 million in total value to 25 selected candidates from ten different countries, according to an official notification. The applications were primarily focused on creation of open-source projects that dealt with NFTs on XRP Ledger or XRPL. XRPL is an extension of the former Ripple Consensus Ledger and contains what we now consider the XRP ecosystem (RCL).
