Ripple's blockchain development arm, which works on the XRP Ledger developer ecosystem.
XRP Ledger developers disclosed an integer-overflow bug in xrpld 3.4.0 and earlier that could have minted XRP beyond its 100-billion supply cap. The patch skipped the validator vote, so the cap's defence rested on one team and on node operators upgrading fast.
Reality
RippleX fixed a 2015-era XRP Ledger bug that let one payment create spendable XRP beyond the token's 100 billion supply cap. Both built-in safeguards would have missed it, so the cap's record on public networks rests on RippleX's finding of no exploitation.
Reality
XRP Ledger's Batch amendment went live on mainnet with 30 of 35 validators in favour, letting one operation bundle two to eight transactions. In its all-or-nothing mode one failed leg stops the rest, so OTC and delivery-versus-payment trades can settle on the ledger itself.
Reality
XRP Ledger's Permission Delegation went live Oct. 8, letting institutions hand specific transaction rights to other accounts without sharing primary keys. Because the grants cannot carry spending limits, institutions keep their own checks on how much a delegate sends.
Reality
XRP Ledger x402 payments ran at about 525,000 a day over the latest week, taking the total from 1 million in July to 11,965,947 by Oct. 3. The count shows software paying for services at volume, but it is a tally of payments published without a dollar value.
