In this talk we'll look at how a graph database can be used to explore relationships between wallets on the XRP ledger.

The structure of the session will be as follows:

* Why and how we decided to use a graph database to store this data
* How we modeled and imported the data.
* The kind of analyses we already ran on it, and ones which would make sense in the future
* What visualizing the data reveals
* Advantages of plotting the data in 3D
