The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has made significant strides in stability, scalability, and security over the past two years. Ripple’s engineering team has prioritized non-feature development, focusing on memory optimization, connectivity, and advanced testing. These efforts aim to lower hardware demands and enhance network resilience.
- XRPL reduced memory usage by 10–15% in validators through lightweight pointers and cache optimizations.
- Squelching techniques cut daily message traffic from 14.4–43 TB to 8.9–16.8 TB without affecting consensus.
- Ripple employs Antithesis, an autonomous testing platform, to detect hard-to-find bugs like deadlocks and crashes.
