David Schwartz, CTO of Ripple, shared insights on the future of XRP Ledger, highlighting key issues that need addressing.
Current State and Upgrades of XRPL
Schwartz discussed the current state of the XRP Ledger hub under his management in a post on X. He shared a graph depicting the number of peer connections to the hub from August 21st to August 25th. The recent upgrade has resulted in improved bandwidth measurements, with the hub showing stable performance throughout the week.
Long-term Goals for XRPL
Schwartz outlined his long-term plans for XRPL, stating his intention to run production on XRPL infrastructure. He pointed out that a software flaw causing server link disconnection is a key issue affecting the network, which could be rectified using data secured from the production hub.
Network Connectivity Issues
The Ripple CTO mentioned validators' struggles with network connectivity, suggesting that improvements are possible. He stated: “I think having one really good hub that can link several hundred nodes together, including most of the 'important' nodes could make an actual difference in overall network reliability and stability.”
Overall, the prospects for enhancing XRP Ledger appear promising. David Schwartz is actively working on solutions to improve network stability and node interactions.
