Blockchain platform XRP Ledger has fully recovered from the outage, which occurred for the second time in three months.
Technical Director Ripple David Schwartz acknowledged the network outage, adding that the exact cause remains unknown. He said initial observations showed that validators stopped publishing confirmations, despite the consensus mechanism working properly. He suggested that servers could be deliberately delaying validation to prevent invalid data from being accepted into the ledger.
We don't know the details yet, but it's likely that the servers were refusing to send confirmations precisely because they knew something was wrong and wanted to make sure that no server would accept the ledger as fully valid unless they could be sure that the network would preserve that ledger and ultimately agree with it, Schwartz said.
He also stressed that, unlike the previous outage, no registries were lost this time. Instead, only the preliminary registries created during the outage were deleted, which is standard protocol in such situations.
Despite the disruption, the XRPL ecosystem is experiencing significant growth, according to the report Ripple , network activity remains high despite a 2,86% decline in transactions to 167 million in Q2024 140. The number of wallets created in XRPL also increased significantly from 000 in Q709 to 000 in QXNUMX.
