## What is Pillars?
Pillars, a subsidiary of Atum Industries and Reaper Financial, is a system within the XRP Ledger ecosystem focused on providing stability and support for projects. Utilizing the Riley Economic System, it mints PLR tokens and engages in regular voting cycles where PLR holders cast votes, influencing the distribution of funds to Pylon projects. Pylons, accepted tokens, receive asset backing in the form of XRP, ensuring a rising value and offering passive XRP income to holders. The system incorporates limit buy orders on designated exchanges, creating a floor value for Pylon assets. Additionally, Pillars plans to operate AMM pools, generating revenue shared among PLR holders and Pylon project token holders. Transparency is emphasized through publicly viewable Pillar Fund wallets. Overall, Pillars aims to contribute stability and growth to XRP Ledger projects, making them sustainable and credible in the long term.
