INPUTS ANALYSES REGISTRE TOOLS COMPLEMENTS META

Suite to understand, analyze, build on XRPL. 4-layer architecture: Inputs → Analyses → Registry → Composition (details on /about).

If you're looking for what to build: go direct to the unified registry (74 opportunities, multi-axis filters). If you want to understand the methodology: read the 3 analysis pages (1 → 2 → 3).

01Inputs · the base landscape

1 file · snapshot
Structured map of active projects on XRPL as of May 2026. The starting point to identify saturated zones and unoccupied spaces.
FIG · 01 Snapshot May 2026 50+ projects · 8 categories

Ecosystem Map

Structured map of the XRPL ecosystem: DeFi, Stablecoins, RWA, Payments, Wallets, Infrastructure, NFT, Bridges. Each project tagged by status (Live/Beta/Upcoming/Partner). Functional audit: for each category, list active players and identify blank zones. Manually editable for quarterly maintenance.

02Analyses · methodology trail

4 entries · methodology trail
How opportunities were identified. Analysis 1 (internal reading · 4 PWGs Paris + Atka), Analysis 2 (Cornell PE challenger lens · by Shane Colder), Analysis 3 (Master Atlas synthesis, 30 source-tagged opportunities A1/A2/BOTH). Methodology trail only — the operational registry lives at /opportunities.
FIG · 02 Internal lens

Analysis 1 · internal lens

Reading of the 4 PWGs Paris (Apr 2026) — Lending · RWA · Stablecoins · Identity — + Atka XRPL DeFi Report. Outputs: 4 frictions, 5 consolidated themes, per-PWG findings, 5 arbitrated internal tensions.

FIG · 03 Challenger lens

Analysis 2 · 24 Focus Areas

Challenger lens by Shane Colder applying Cornell PE × Atka methodology to the same raw materials (PWG + ATKA). Outputs: 24 Focus Areas grouped into 6 strategic themes, external + institutional-oriented reading.

FIG · 04 Master Atlas

Analysis 3 · unified synthesis

Convergent A1 + A2 synthesis = Master Atlas: 30 opportunities across 7 themes, source-tagged A1/A2/BOTH with unified priority and chain-target. Best of both worlds. Base of the /opportunities registry.

FIG · 04b Founder interviews

Interviews · ground-truth signals

Dedicated page for 1:1 interviews with XRPL founders/builders/actors. 1 completed (Djason · 5 propositions extracted · INT-djason tag), 8 planned (Stan · Kevin · Adrien · Denis · Andy · Thomas · Florian · Romain). Fills the gap between internal analyses (protocol) and ground-truth qualitative signals (product/UX/tooling).

03Build · the registry & the event

2 key pages · registry + buildathon
The site's main deliverable. 74 opportunities to build on XRPL, classified on 2 axes (Type APP/BLOCK × 5 themes) with multi-source tagging (PWG-1/2/3/4 · ATKA · ECO · YC · INT upcoming). If you only visit one page, this is the one.
FIG · 05 · HERO 5 convergent sources · 5 themes · multi-axis filters

Opportunities · the unified registry

The final unified registry of opportunities to build on XRPL: 56 opps consolidated from 5 sources (4 PWGs Paris + Atka + ecosystem-map + YC RFS), classified on 2 axes (Type APP/BLOCK × 5 themes: Wallets&Infra · Lending · RWA&Stables · EVM DeFi · Dev&Agents) with dynamic multi-axis filters (Type · Tier · Chain · Source · Theme). A·C+ format: compact + inline drill-down. CSV/JSON export available. Single source of truth for the Buildathon challenge register.
