XAMAN holders see 10% Ripple release

A social post on May 24 pushed a claim that “XAMAN holders” had received a 10% share of a Ripple escrow release, but the available evidence points to a promotional website rather than a confirmed Ripple distribution. A page branded “Xaman – XRP Community Day” says “10% of Ripple’s monthly escrow release goes directly to the community” and describes a process involving a trust line and an in-app vote. Ripple’s own escrow explainer, however, describes a standing monthly release mechanism and does not describe any program that sends 10% of those funds to XRP holders. Xaman’s official help pages also warn users not to rely on social-media forms or people claiming to be support on X or Telegram. ### What exactly was being claimed online? An X post cited in the briefing said XAMAN holders saw a “10% Ripple escrow release” for “true $XRP holders” on May 24. The clearest matching web result is a site using Xaman branding that advertises a “Monthly XRP Release” and says “10% Back to Holders.” It says users must set a trust line and vote in Xaman to confirm eligibility. The same page says compensation ranges from “$50 – $15,000” based on “account activity and holdings,” and frames the offer as “Escrow pool compensation.” The page does not, in the material surfaced by search, identify Ripple as the operator of the site or provide a Ripple statement confirming the distribution.

Ripple said in a December 2017 company post by Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz that it locked 55 billion XRP into on-ledger escrows. (xamanxrp.com) That post says the escrows release a total of 1 billion XRP each month and that unused XRP can be placed back into new escrows. Ripple’s description is a supply-management mechanism on the XRP Ledger. The company post explains how escrow entries are created and released on-ledger, but it does not describe a standing entitlement for retail XRP holders to receive 10% of each monthly unlock.

Xaman’s main site identifies the product as a self-custodial wallet for the XRP Ledger ecosystem and says it is relied on by millions of users. (ripple.com) A separate Xaman ecosystem page says the app is used by more than 80% of active XRPL wallets each month. Those pages establish Xaman as a real wallet brand, but they do not by themselves verify the “Community Day” claim. Xaman’s help center says the company no longer provides customer support via X, does not have a Telegram account, and tells users not to fill out forms on social media or reply to accounts claiming to be “Xaman Support” or “Xumm Support.” That warning matters because the reported claim spread through social posts and a separate promotional page asking users to take wallet-related steps.

A PCrisk removal guide published last week described a “Xaman Monthly $XRP Release Scam” and said some fake sites claimed users could receive 10% of their held XRP each month. That is not a primary source, but it shows that this exact pitch is circulating widely enough to generate security writeups. The safer reading, based on the sourced material, is narrow: people online reported a 10% “Ripple release,” and a Xaman-branded page makes that claim, but Ripple’s official escrow explainer does not confirm such a holder distribution, and Xaman’s own help materials tell users to verify official channels before acting. (help.xaman.app) ### What should users check next? Ripple’s official escrow explainer remains the primary source for how monthly XRP releases work, and Xaman’s help center lists the company’s official communication channels. (pcrisk.com) Anyone evaluating the claim should compare any offer page against those two sources before setting a trust line, signing a transaction, or connecting a wallet. (ripple.com) (xamanxrp.com)
