The XRP Ledger Foundation has launched XRP Ledger Education Month, a programme with up to $40,000 in awards for educators and content creators who explain how the XRP Ledger works. It was announced on November 9 on its X account.
The foundation says most community programmes fund people who write code, and that people who make tutorials, guides and explainers move the community forward too.
Dates
- Opens: November 9, 2026.
- Closes: December 6, 2026, at 23:59 UTC.
Topics
There are two topics, open all month:
- Amendments in voting: what the new features validators are voting on do and what they are for, such as the Lending Protocol (loans on the ledger) and Confidential Transfers. The full list, with where each vote stands, is on our XRP Ledger amendments page.
- The XRP Ledger today: what XRP is, how consensus works, issued tokens, NFTs and the other live features, and the design choices behind them.
Any format and any language counts: videos, shorts, series, tutorials, articles, threads, art, animation or graphics.
How to enter
1. Publish the piece in public between November 9 and December 6.
2. Tag it: on X, mention @XRPLF; everywhere else, use #XRPEducationMonth.
There is no sign-up and nothing else to send.
What counts and what doesn't
The foundation rewards clarity, accuracy, creativity and consistency across the month. Views and follower counts don't count, so small accounts can win. Technical content has to match the official documentation at xrpl.org.
Not eligible:
- Price, market or investment talk, or anything that reads as financial advice.
- Promoting a token, project, exchange or wallet, or telling people to buy or hold anything.
- Copied work, or work that isn't your own.
- Bought views, bots, or asking for likes to win.
How awards are paid
After December 6 the foundation decides which work to reward. Entering creates no right to an award. Awards are offered by email and paid in euros, by bank transfer to an account in the winner's own name, after a signed agreement and tax documents. The foundation notes that some countries cannot receive awards. Creators keep ownership of their work.
Watch out for scams
The foundation warns that accounts pretending to be it may appear. It never asks for seed phrases, keys, wallet access or fees, and never sends the first private message. Winners hear from an @xrpl.foundation email address.
The full rules are at education.xrpl.foundation.
