xrpl-lab 2.5.1

English | 日本語 | 中文 | Español | Français | हिन्दी | Italiano | Português (BR)

XRPL training workbook — learn by doing, prove by artifact.

Each module teaches one XRPL skill and produces a verifiable artifact: a transaction ID, a signed receipt, or a diagnostic report. No accounts, no fluff, no cloud — just competence and receipts.

Install

pipx install xrpl-lab

Or with pip:

pip install xrpl-lab

Requires Python 3.11+.

Quickstart

xrpl-lab start

The guided launcher walks you through wallet setup, funding, and your first module.

Offline mode

xrpl-lab start --dry-run

No network required. Simulated transactions for learning the workflow.

Modules

32 modules across ten tracks: Foundations, NFTs, Tokens, Payments, Identity, DEX, Reserves, Audit, AMM, and Capstone. Prerequisites are explicit — the CLI and linter enforce them.

The # column matches the order shown by xrpl-lab list (canonical track order).

The Produces column lists the artifact kinds each module emits (txid, report, audit_pack); see each module's page in the handbook for the full skill walkthrough and what you prove on-ledger.

Tracks

• foundations — wallet, payments, trust lines, error handling
• nfts — NFT game assets: minting, marketplace settlement, dynamic NFTs (XLS-20)
• tokens — Multi-Purpose Token (MPT) game-currency issuance & clawback (XLS-33)
• payments — escrow & time-locked value
• identity — Decentralized Identifiers (DID, XLS-40)
• dex — offers, order books, market making, inventory management
• reserves — account reserves, owner count, cleanup
• audit — batch verification, audit reports
• amm — automated market maker liquidity, DEX vs AMM comparison
• capstone — compose skills across tracks into one game-economy build

Modes

• testnet — real transactions on the XRPL Testnet
• dry-run — offline sandbox with simulated transactions (no network required)

Workshop Use

XRPL Lab is designed for real teaching settings. No accounts, no telemetry, no cloud. Everything runs locally.

Facilitator status

xrpl-lab status             # Where is this learner? What's blocked? What's next?
xrpl-lab status --json      # Machine-readable for scripting
xrpl-lab tracks             # Track-level completion: what was actually practiced
xrpl-lab recovery           # Stuck? See exactly what to run next

Support handoff

xrpl-lab support-bundle              # Human-readable markdown bundle
xrpl-lab support-bundle --json       # Machine-parseable JSON
xrpl-lab support-bundle --verify bundle.json  # Verify a received bundle

A facilitator can diagnose any learner's issue from a support bundle without reproducing the whole session. No secrets are included.

Workshop flows

All-offline sandbox — no network required:

xrpl-lab wallet create
xrpl-lab start --dry-run

Mixed offline + testnet — real transactions for basics, sandbox for advanced:

xrpl-lab wallet create
xrpl-lab fund
xrpl-lab start

Camp → Lab progression — continue from xrpl-camp:

xrpl-lab start    # auto-detects camp wallet and certificate

Artifacts

Proof pack (xrpl_lab_proof_pack.json): Shareable record of completed modules, transaction IDs, and explorer links. Includes a SHA-256 integrity hash. No secrets.

Certificate (xrpl_lab_certificate.json): Slim completion record.

Reports (reports/*.md): Human-readable summaries of what you did and proved.

Audit packs (audit_pack_*.json): Batch verification results with SHA-256 integrity hash.

Security and Trust Model

Data XRPL Lab touches:

• Wallet seed (stored locally in ~/.xrpl-lab/wallet.json as plaintext JSON — POSIX mode 0o600 / 0o700 parent, or an owner-only ACL on Windows; not encrypted)
• Module progress and transaction IDs (stored in ~/.xrpl-lab/state.json, atomic writes via tmp + rename)
• XRPL Testnet RPC (public endpoint, transactions signed locally before submission)
• Testnet faucet (public HTTP, only your address is sent)

Data XRPL Lab does NOT touch:

• No mainnet. Testnet only
• No telemetry, analytics, or phone-home of any kind
• No cloud accounts, no registration, no third-party APIs
• No secrets in proof packs, certificates, reports, or support bundles — ever

Permissions and storage tiers:

• Home ~/.xrpl-lab/ — private secrets tier (POSIX 0o700 / 0o600, or an owner-only ACL on Windows). Stores wallet seed, doctor log, audit packs.
• Workspace ./.xrpl-lab/ — designed-shareable tier, 0o755 directory. Stores module reports, proof packs, certificates. Facilitators can review without permission elevation.
• Filesystem: reads/writes only the two locations above
• Network: XRPL Testnet RPC + faucet only (both overridable via env vars, both optional with --dry-run)
• No elevated permissions required

Dashboard surface (when xrpl-lab serve is running):

• WebSocket runner endpoint enforces an Origin allow-list (closes non-allow-listed connections with code 4003)
• All error frames emit a structured envelope (code, message, hint, severity, icon_hint) — no path leakage, no internal-state leakage
• Bounded per-connection message queue with documented back-pressure behavior

See SECURITY.md for the full security policy and workshop-setup guidance.

Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• Internet connection for testnet (or use --dry-run for fully offline mode)
