Sending XRP to Xaman

How to send XRP to your XRP Ledger account managed by Xaman

Introduction

If you are new to Xaman (formerly Xumm), it can be a little bit confusing to understand what all the buttons and features do. Trust us when we say, it does get easier after a little bit of practice! 😉

This article talks about how to send XRP from another XRP Ledger (XRPL) account to your XRPL account managed by Xaman.

Background

The first thing to know is that your XRPL account is identified by an "r-address'.

Here is where you can find you r-address in Xaman.

Of course, your r-address will be different than our r-address. Our account is a Vanity r-address.

Your r-address basically is your account number on the XRP Ledger. It is the address that you will send your XRP to.

You should also know that there are two types of accounts on the XRPL.

Self custodial accounts - All accounts managed by Xaman are self custodial accounts. (After all, Xaman is a self custodial wallet.) With a self custodial account, you are solely responsible for managing your private keys.
Custodial accounts - A company is responsible for managing the private keys to their account. (Usually a crypto exchange.) You are provided an account address from the exchange and a (unique to your exchange) destination tag.

Destination Tags are usually required when using exchanges. Some exchanges give a different Destination Tag for each transaction. Some exchanges re-use the same Destination Tag for all transactions for your account. make sure you know how your exchange works.

Since this article talks about how to send XRP to your XRPL account managed by Xaman, you will not need a destination tag.

See this article for more details about Destination Tags:
