Default address type
XRP, also known as Ripple, has one default address type. Addresses always begin with "r", are between 25 and 35 characters long, use alphanumeric characters (excluding the number "0", capital letters "O", capital letters "I", and lowercase letters "l"), and are case-sensitive.
X-address type
When you deposit XRP on a centralized exchange or ramp, you are typically required to specify the destination tag in your transaction. Missing the destination tag is a common mistake during this process. This is why the X-address format was created. The X-address format starts with "X" and contains a destination tag.
