What is PayString and why is it useful?

Put simply, PayString is like a phone book for the XRP Ledger. It is a protocol that maps human-readable addresses to their corresponding payment addresses.
The public address on the XRP Ledger is a string of numbers and letters called an r-address.
For example:
rGCEB4TQDkdU6GLjc5py15yT1ksrGqPebK
Due to their complexity, r-addresses can be difficult to remember. PayString solves this issue by mapping an r-address to an easy-to remember address.
Currently, only the XRP Ledger supports the PayString protocol.
PayString is part of the Profiles feature in Xumm Pro.
More information about about Profiles (and how it works) please refer to this article:
