Reliable Access to Verified Ledger Data
Why INFTF Provides Public Data APIs for Xahau and XRPL
Blockchain networks are transparent by design, yet accessing that transparency in a structured, reliable way is often challenging.
Raw ledger data exists within the protocol, but developers, auditors, and institutions need consistent, queryable access without operating their own full history infrastructure.
To meet this need, INFTF provides two public data endpoints:
- Xahau Data API: data.xahau.network
- XRPL Data API: xrpldata.inftf.org
These services expose blockchain data from the XRP Ledger and Xahau networks through REST endpoints, providing structured and queryable access to information derived from canonical ledger sources.
Origin and Integrity of the Data
The datasets served through these APIs originate from Full History servers that are directly synchronized with their respective blockchains.
Every record ultimately traces back to on chain, cryptographically verified ledgers.
Note: INFTF indexes and stores data from these canonical sources in its own optimized formats to make it accessible through REST APIs.
These formats enable fast and complex queries that would otherwise be computationally expensive to perform directly on the blockchain.
Users who require full verification can always cross check specific results by querying the network through their own node, but such operations typically demand substantial compute, memory, and disk resources.
This layered approach balances verifiability and performance. The data remains traceable to canonical sources while being efficient enough for everyday use by applications, analytics systems, and research.
Why These APIs Matter
1. Lowering Barriers for Developers
Operating a full history node involves terabytes of storage and high maintenance overhead.
INFTF’s APIs abstract that complexity, letting developers focus on building applications, tools, and dashboards rather than infrastructure.
2. Transparency and Accountability
Because all data originates from canonical ledger sources, third parties such as researchers or regulators can verify totals like token supply, circulating balances, or DEX activity against the live blockchain when required.
3. Enterprise Integration
Enterprises are accustomed to fetching and providing data via standardized REST APIs, whether in banking, payments, logistics, or compliance systems.
By delivering blockchain data through the same familiar model, INFTF enables businesses to integrate distributed ledger data using the same principles they already apply to traditional financial infrastructure.
These APIs deliver production grade endpoints suitable for secure, compliant integration and reporting.
4. Monitoring and Operations
Operators and infrastructure teams can use these endpoints to track network health, ledger progression, and transaction volumes without directly querying full history nodes.
5. Analytics and Market Insight
Structured datasets such as circulating supply, volume, and ticker information enable the creation of dashboards and analytics pipelines that remain grounded in verifiable on chain data.
Strategic Significance
Providing open, verifiable access to ledger data reinforces INFTF’s broader mission to support inclusion, trust, and responsible innovation in blockchain ecosystems.
- Trust through transparency: Anyone can inspect, query, or verify the underlying data.
- Ecosystem growth: Lowering the entry barrier encourages more developers and institutions to build.
- Regulatory confidence: Clear, traceable data supports compliance and auditability.
- Interoperability: Standardized REST endpoints simplify integration with exchanges, wallets, and enterprise systems.
- Operational sustainability: Optimized data layers balance accuracy with computational efficiency.
Conclusion
INFTF’s Xahau and XRPL Data APIs demonstrate a commitment to open access without compromise.
They make blockchain data derived from canonical sources usable at scale while preserving the ability for anyone to independently verify results directly on chain.
In practice, this means developers and enterprises gain fast, structured access to data that reflects the true state of the ledger, and those who need full assurance can always re compute or validate on the blockchain itself.
That balance between verifiable truth and computational practicality makes these APIs essential infrastructure for transparent, inclusive financial technology.
