Ripple Launches $200,000 XRPL Attackathon for Enhanced Security

To enhance the security of its proposed XRPL Lending Protocol ahead of a planned mainnet launch, Ripple is inviting global researchers to participate in a $200,000 Attackathon program. The initiative, partnered with Immunefi, will run from October 27 to November 29 and leverage adversarial testing alongside developer education. Researchers will review over 35,000 lines of C++ code and compete for rewards paid in RLUSD. This focus on security reflects Ripple’s commitment to institutional DeFi expansion through regulated lending infrastructure with transparent risk management.
