A repository of ideas for the XRPL builder community.
Hackathon Ideas A list of projects with a small enough scope to be done over a hackathon.
Platform Ideas A list of more ambitious projects, categorized by domain.
Make Waves 74 market opportunities — gaps the ecosystem needs filled — sourced from the XRPL Builder Opportunities registry.
Manually. Browse the three lists above. Pick the section that matches your ambition — Hackathon for a weekend build, Platform for a venture, Make Waves for an open market gap — then use the selection checklist at the bottom of each page to scope what you pick.
With an AI agent. This repo is built to be read by an agent that interviews you and
recommends ideas that fit. ideas.json is a machine-readable index of every
idea across all sections, and SCHEMA.md documents its fields plus how an agent
should use them. Paste the prompt below into your agent (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, etc.):
You are helping me decide what to build on the XRP Ledger.
First, read these two files from the XRPL Community Ideas repo:
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/XRPL-Commons/community-ideas/main/ideas.json
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/XRPL-Commons/community-ideas/main/SCHEMA.md
Then interview me ONE question at a time to understand:
1. Time & scope — a weekend hackathon, or a multi-month venture?
2. Audience — am I building for end users (type "app") or for other builders (type "tool")?
3. Skills & interest — which XRPL features or themes excite me
(e.g. Escrow, AMM, DEX, NFTs, RLUSD, payments, DeFi, AI agents, impact)?
4. Ambition — a focused niche, or a high-tier ecosystem bet?
After my answers, recommend the 3 ideas from ideas.json that fit me best. For each:
- its id, title, and source section;
- why it fits what I told you;
- a concrete MVP I could ship first;
- the exact XRPL transactions it would use (from xrpl_features);
- any related ideas via overlaps_with that I should look at before committing.
Then help me refine the one I choose into a buildable spec.
