in #android6 years ago


Here's a list of the top 5 free software options you can use for storing XRP safely and cheaply on IOS, Android and Desktop.

Also, be sure to keep in mind that each wallet listed requires a reserve of 20 XRP.

According to Ripple, the reserve was put in place ”to protect the shared global ledger from growing excessively large as the result of spam or malicious usage.”

Free XRP Wallet Apps for Storing XRP Safely on IOS and Android

For some, storing cryptocurrency (or crypto) inside a wallet app is the best method. By using an app, you have immediate access to your cryptocurrency.

Though, some might argue that it's not the safest option out there.

Why is that?

Due to the nature of phones having constant access to the internet, they give hackers a way in.

Be extra safe by using an offline crypto storage method like the Ledger Nano S or an old computer that isn't always connected to the internet.

In any case, if you trust your phones security — The following is a list of apps available for IOS and Android.

Best IOS Apps for Storing XRP

Toast Wallet


Toast Wallet for IOS has 3.7-stars and 239 ratings, making it by far the best app in the App Store for storing XRP safely.

I personally use the Toast wallet and haven't had any issues with it. If you simply need a wallet to safely store your XRP, Toast wallet is the app for you.
