Ripple CTO Announces Next Week’s Production Readiness for XRPL Hub

XRP Community: Ripple CTO David Schwartz has provided a significant update regarding the XRPL hub, promising its readiness for production as early as next week. After three days of flawless performance testing, Schwartz shared his observations with the community on X (formerly Twitter). The test revealed no spikes in peer numbers, bandwidth issues, or dropped connections. The only slight fluctuation was latency, attributed to increased outbound traffic during the tests. According to Schwartz, these results indicate potential for deployment as early as next week. 🧐 This comes after a recent restart of the hub five days ago, with its latency remaining below the threshold that would affect the network. Schwartz emphasized that this hub isn’t just about technical improvements. It aims to enhance stability by strengthening connections between XRP Ledger nodes, leading to fewer sync drops under stress and a more resilient network. 🛡️ This update signals that Ripple is continuing to work on improving its underlying infrastructure while providing insights into the development process. The next step for this new layer of functionality depends on continued positive results from testing.
