Use the XRP Ledger for an evening, with play money.

Eight self-paced modules on the XRP Ledger testnet: hold a key, send a payment, read the public ledger and more. Play money only, nothing to buy, and no one will ask for your secret words.

You've read about the machine. Now spend an evening using it, without risking a penny.

Chapter 15 of The Internet of Value promised you'd hold a key, feel finality, read the open book, cross the tollbooth and tokenise your coffee mug. It also admitted the awkward truth: wallets get renamed and buttons move, so the book could only tell you what to do, not where to click.

This kit is the where-to-click. It's a plain-English, step-by-step workbook that takes you through every exercise on the XRP Ledger testnet, a full working copy of the network that runs on play money, where mistakes cost nothing. You go at your own pace, in about 4.5 to 5 hours: one long evening or two short ones.

Education only. Testnet only. Not financial advice.

Who it's for

• Readers of The Internet of Value who want to try the exercises from Chapter 15.
• Curious beginners who have never held a wallet.
• People who learn by doing, in a safe place where mistakes cost nothing.

Who it isn't for

• Anyone looking for trading tips, price predictions or investment advice. The kit teaches mechanics, not markets.
• Anyone who wants to buy crypto. It's all play money on the XRP Ledger testnet, and you won't be asked to buy anything.

What you need

• One XRPL-testnet wallet: Xaman on your phone, or Crossmark or GemWallet in a Chrome-based browser.
• Free test XRP from the official faucet (or Xaman testnet activation). The workbook shows you how.
• No coding. (An optional Python appendix is there if you're curious; it needs pip install xrpl-py.)
• No seed phrase, no secret words. You'll never be asked for them.

What you'll do

0. Before you start: the safety briefing. Learn the rules that keep you safe, and test yourself with a five-message "spot the scam" quiz.

1. Hold a key. Create your first test account and see why the secret is the ownership.

2. Feel finality. Send a payment and watch it settle in seconds, mistakes included.

3. Read the public book. Look up real ledger activity, and see why auditability cuts both ways and why you wouldn't want your salary on it.

4. Cross the tollbooth. Convert and pay in one act.

5. Feel the shallow pool. See what "depth" means when a big order meets a thin market, and what it means for the book's Prediction 6.

6. Tokenise your coffee mug. Make a token, and find out what it's really backed by.

7. Be the examiner. Grade one of the book's predictions with evidence, not prices.

Every module has a "what this proves / what it doesn't" box, so you always know what you've actually learned.

FAQ

Do I need to spend money on crypto?

No. The testnet runs on play money, and you won't be asked to buy anything.

Will you ask for my seed phrase or secret words?

Never. Module 0 teaches you to refuse anyone who does.

Is this financial advice?

No. Education only, testnet only. The kit teaches mechanics, not markets.

How long does it take?

About 4.5 to 5 hours, self-paced: one long evening or two short ones.

Do I need technical skills, or to install anything?

No coding. You need one XRPL-testnet wallet (Xaman, Crossmark or GemWallet) and free test XRP. The Python appendix is optional.

What format is it, and how do I get it?

A standard Payhip digital download: one zip (1.1 MB) with the 31-page PDF workbook, the one-page PDF Safety Card and Video_Links.txt. The eight videos stream as unlisted YouTube links. Downloads are limited to 5 attempts per file.

Will it go out of date?

Wallets get renamed and buttons move. That's why the workbook ends with the Current Specifics sheet, a dated list of wallets, faucet, explorers and tutorial links. Sheet last checked 13 Oct 2026.

Can I get a refund?

Payhip's standard terms apply. There is no additional guarantee.
