Based on his commentary, Schwartz officially joined Ripple on December 1, 2012, with current Chairman Chris Larsen subsequently adding him to the company’s board. He was among the early developers at Ripple who helped shape the company’s technical vision.
Ripple’s decentralized blockchain platform, XRP Ledger (XRPL), is one of Schwartz’s brainchild projects, which he developed alongside Arthur Britto and Jed McCaleb. Notably, Schwartz later became the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Ripple after McCaleb left the position.
Since then, Schwartz has spearheaded Ripple’s technological vision, contribution to the development of several cross-border payment solutions like Ripple Payments (formerly ODL).
