Ripple Launches New Developer Portal

06 March 2014

Ripple Labs, the creators of the Ripple open-source, distributed payment protocol, is hoping to increase its market traction by opening up to developers with a portal designed specifically for them.

Initially the portal will house the new Rest API, with plans to expand to include a developer blog, a Rest-based API and implementation guides and a list of live Ripple development bounties, among other things.

“We are committed to providing more transparency for developers, making it easier for them to build on Ripple, and empowering them with the tools they need to be successful,” said Ripple Labs CEO Chris Larsen in a released statement.

The new portal builds on a new Ripple accelerator operated by CrossCoin Ventures. That program focuses on connecting startups with funding, office space, mentoring and access to Ripple Labs resources.
