**XRP Wallets**
You need 20 XRP to activate a XRP wallet. Fees can be changed by the validators through the [voting ](https://ripple.com/build/fee-voting/) process.
The [reserve requirement](https://ripple.com/build/reserves/) protects the XRP Ledger from spam or malicious usage.
When you are sending XRP to an exchange, **destination tag is very important**.
Destination tag is not needed when you transfer XRP to your own wallet address.
