The XRPL DEX matches offers recorded directly in the ledger. It can trade issued assets and route payments through order books and AMMs without a separate exchange contract.
An OfferCreate expresses TakerGets and TakerPays from the taker's perspective. Quality, transfer rates, issuer identity, trust lines, funding, rippling, autobridging, and partial execution all affect the result.
A useful order-book view names both currency codes and issuers, then shows funded amounts rather than assuming every posted offer can execute in full. Native XRP has no issuer.
Read the DEX protocol documentation ↗Use the existing XRPAuthority tool or learning workflow. Live tools request public data only; simulations never ask for signing material.
