# Sending A Transaction To An XRP Ledger

Learn how easy it is to send a transaction to an XRP ledger.

Sending a transaction to the [XRP Ledger](https://xrpl.org/submit.html) involves several steps:

**Step 1**: Create an [unsigned transaction in JSON format](https://xrpl.org/transaction-basics.html#example-unsigned-transaction).

**Step 2**: Use one or more signatures to [authorize the transaction](https://xrpl.org/transaction-basics.html#authorizing-transactions).

**Step 3**: Submit a transaction to a rippled server. If the transaction is properly formed, the server provisionally applies it to its current ledger version and relays it to other members of the peer-to-peer network.

**Step 4**: The [consensus process](https://xrpl.org/consensus.html) determines which provisional transactions get included in the next validated ledger.

**Step 5**: The rippled servers apply those transactions to the previous ledger in canonical order and share their results.

**Step 6**: If [enough trusted validators](https://xrpl.org/docs/concepts/networks-and-servers/rippled-server-modes#validators) created the same ledger, that ledger is declared validated, and [the results of the transactions](https://xrpl.org/transaction-results.html) in that ledger are immutable.

The submit method applies a [transaction](https://xrpl.org/transaction-formats.html) and sends it to the network to be confirmed and included in future ledgers.

> If you are sending cryptocurrency that uses Destination Tag technology to Coinbase, you must input a correct Tag/Memo.

Both an address and a tag/memo are required to receive cryptocurrency. If you send funds without a tag/memo or an incorrect Tag/Memo, your funds cannot be credited to your account.
