We're thrilled to announce that Xaman has joined us as a sponsor of XRP Australia 2026 in Sydney. For anyone in the XRPL ecosystem, Xaman needs no introduction. They're the leading self-custody wallet for the XRP Ledger and Xahau networks, and their infrastructure contributions have been fundamental to the ecosystem's success since 2018.

This sponsorship feels like a natural fit. Wave of Innovation and Xaman share a deep commitment to advancing blockchain adoption across the Asia-Pacific region, and we're honoured to have them as part of XRP Australia 2026. Their support means more than just financial contribution. It represents a shared vision for the future of decentralised technology and the communities we're building together.

Why Xaman Matters

Since XRPL Labs launched Xaman in 2018, they've been quietly powering the infrastructure that makes the XRP Ledger work. They run multiple nodes and validators that keep the network stable, secure, and decentralised. Without infrastructure providers like Xaman, the XRPL simply wouldn't function at the scale and reliability that millions of users depend on today.

But Xaman isn't just infrastructure. They've built one of the most trusted wallets in the space, processing over $6 billion in on-chain XRP payments in 2024 alone. What makes this even more impressive is the efficiency. Across all those billions in transactions, cumulative fees totalled just $510. That's the kind of cost-effectiveness that makes blockchain technology truly accessible.

The growth trajectory tells its own story. From processing $300 million in 2020 to $6 billion in 2024, Xaman has seen a 20-fold increase in just four years. This year, they've already processed over $1 billion in the first quarter alone. These aren't just numbers on a page. They represent real value being moved efficiently and securely through infrastructure that Xaman has been instrumental in building and maintaining.

Building for Everyone

What sets Xaman apart is their commitment to accessibility. In December 2025, they released version 4.6.1 with language support reaching almost six billion speakers worldwide. That's 45 languages across 195 countries, making Xaman the most accessible wallet globally. For the Asia-Pacific region, this is particularly significant. 2.8 billion people can now access Xaman in their native language, removing one of the biggest barriers to cryptocurrency adoption.

As Robert Kiuru, COO of Xaman & XRPL Labs, put it: "Accessibility is key. When you remove the language barrier, you remove the biggest blocker. Xaman becomes easier for people everywhere, and so does the XRP Ledger." This philosophy aligns perfectly with what we're trying to achieve at Wave of Innovation.

Xaman's commitment to the APAC region goes beyond language support. Their recent trademark registration in Japan solidifies their presence in one of the world's most important blockchain markets. They've been actively supporting the XRPL ecosystem through partnerships with organisations like XRPL Japan, demonstrating a long-term commitment to the region.

Security That Sets Standards

Xaman has consistently pushed boundaries when it comes to security and user experience. Their integration with Tangem cards represents one of the most innovative approaches to hardware wallet security in the blockchain industry. Each card contains an EAL6+ certified microchip, the same security level used in passports, that generates and stores private keys directly on the card. The keys never leave the device, and transactions are signed using NFC technology.

The cards are built to withstand extreme conditions, operating between -25°C and +50°C, and are resistant to dust, water, electromagnetic pulses, and X-rays. This durability, combined with the robust security architecture, makes Xaman Tangem cards one of the most reliable hardware wallet solutions available for XRPL assets.
