The XRP community has raised questions once again about the missing early records of the XRP Ledger. These concerns resurfaced on social media platform X.
Issues with Missing Information
Fresh concerns have emerged within the XRP community regarding the long-missing early records of the XRP Ledger. A user on platform X questioned why the team never reset the ledger to address the gap involving the first 32,000 ledgers.
Reasons for Maintaining Current Records
According to Ripple CTO David Schwartz, the missing entries date back to XRP Ledger’s early testing phase. During this time, multiple ledger streams were developed, and due to a bug in one of these streams, nearly 10 days of data were lost. He explained that resetting the ledger would have resulted in the loss of even more valuable information.
Reaffirmation of XRP Ledger Reliability
Schwartz pointed out that while a reset was once considered, it was never executed. The team chose to maintain ledgers starting from #32,570 to protect existing records. Since the data loss, the ledger has never been reset and is not planned to be reset in the future.
Schwartz's clarifications aim to dispel lingering doubts within the XRP community, which continues to debate early development decisions.
