Questions and answers
What is the XRP reserve?
An amount of XRP every account must hold and cannot send. It discourages creating accounts and ledger objects that everyone's servers then have to store. It is not a fee: the XRP stays yours.
Can I get the reserve back?
The owner reserve is freed when the object is removed, for example when a trust line is closed or an escrow is finished. The base reserve is freed only by deleting the account, which destroys part of it as the deletion fee.
Who decides the reserve amounts?
The network's validators, by fee voting. The values change rarely; this page reads the current ones from the ledger instead of assuming them.
Does an escrow count towards the reserve?
Yes. An escrow is an object owned by the account that created it and adds one owner reserve until it is finished or cancelled.
