In response to a question posed by a user on X, David Schwartz, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, recently addressed the XRP Ledger’s scalability in terms of (TPS) transactions per second. X user Chad Steingraber had asked if it was true that the XRP Ledger "through optimization" could potentially scale up to 50,000 TPS.
