Deploy a Ripple Gateway today with the Ripple Gateway template server software. The Ripple Gateway template is designed for organizations who want to test the waters with Ripple and begin issuing currency to users of the Ripple value network.
The software includes out of the box the ability for users to register with their email to your gateway and associate their ripple identity. For the operator of your gateway, tools are provided to make setup and configuration of your gateway as seamless and minimal as possible. The goal of the gateway tool is to launch a new gateway on Ripple in less than ten minutes after the software is installed.
A Ripple Gateway processes deposits of assets to and their corresponding withdrawals from the Ripple value network. In essence they are the holders of assets and issuers of corresponding currency to Ripple users.
