Overview

Destination tags are a feature of XRP Ledger payments that can indicate specific purposes for payments from and to multi-purpose addresses. Destination tags do not have direct on-ledger functionality; destination tags merely provide information about how off-ledger systems should process a payment. In transactions, destination tags are formatted as 32-bit unsigned integers.

Destination tags indicate the beneficiary or destination for a payment. For example, a payment to an exchange or stablecoin issuer address can use a destination tag to indicate which customer to credit for the amount of the payment in that business's own systems. A payment to a merchant could indicate what item or cart the payment is buying.

The Require Destination Tag setting is designed for addresses that host balances for multiple people or purposes, to prevent people from sending money and forgetting to use a destination tag to identify whom to credit. When this setting is enabled on your address, the XRP Ledger rejects any payment to your address if it does not specify a destination tag.
