David Schwartz, the Chief Technology Officer at Ripple, announced the launch of a new project aimed at improving the performance of the XRP Ledger. This project stems from Schwartz's personal commitment to enhancing the XRPL infrastructure.
David Schwartz's Personal Project
Schwartz stated that his project is independent of Ripple's official initiatives. He emphasized the necessity of creating a robust server to support validators and critically important applications after a long period without personal XRPL infrastructure.
Features of the New Server
The new server will be equipped with powerful hardware, including an AMD 9950X processor and 256GB of RAM, significantly enhancing XRPL's performance. The storage will include a 2TB SATA SSD, along with two 2TB NVMe SSDs configured in software RAID 0, and a 10GB unmetered internet connection. Ubuntu LTE has been chosen as the operating system for its reliability.
Expanding XRPL Infrastructure
Schwartz noted that reserved slots on the server will prioritize XRPL's UNL validators and critical applications. He also emphasized the importance of decentralization within the network, advising against reliance on a single infrastructure source.
David Schwartz's announcement has generated positive feedback within the XRPL community, which sees the project as a means to enhance infrastructure and improve network stability.
