Setting Up Your Rippl Base

Your "Rippl Base" represents your core neighborhood—a 3km radius zone where you can connect, discover, and interact with the local community around you.

Create Your Zone

  • Name Your Base: Choose a nice, recognizable name that perfectly represents your local zone or community area.
  • Pin Your Location: Select the geographic center of your Rippl Zone by pinning it on the map.
  • Search to Find: You can easily locate your desired area by typing the name of your city, street, or landmark into the upper search bar.

Privacy Tip: It is not mandatory to pin your exact home location! To protect your privacy, you can simply place the pin on a nearby landmark, crossroad, or general area to securely set up your zone.
