xrpl-sweep

Overview

A small, secure Node.js command-line tool that imports a BIP-39 mnemonic and sweeps XRP from the XRP Ledger — reclaiming most of the 1 XRP account reserve that otherwise stays locked forever. I’d accumulated several old XRP addresses across wallets with just the reserve sitting untouched, and recovering it by hand each time got old. So I built the whole sweep into one transparent session.

How it works

Enter a mnemonic (12–24 words, hidden input), and the tool derives your classic address, fetches your balance and the network’s base and owner reserves, sends any spendable XRP above the reserve, then submits an AccountDelete to recover roughly 0.8 XRP (after the burn fee). All from the terminal — no GUI, no browser extension.
