Clarifications from XRP Developers
The concerns surrounding the suspected U.S. Treasury account quickly attracted the attention of prominent figures within the XRP community. Wietse Wind, a well-known XRP Ledger developer, and Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz provided important clarifications on the matter.
Wind emphasized that the domain field on the blockchain is public, allowing anyone to input any information. Therefore, just because a KYC process is completed, it does not necessarily indicate that the account is affiliated with a government entity. Wind urged the community to verify claims rather than accept them at face value.
Additionally, Schwartz explained the technical aspects of verifying the ownership of an XRP account. According to Schwartz, the domain field and the TOML file associated with the account can only be modified by the account owner.
If these two match, it establishes a provable connection between the account and the domain. This process ensures that users can determine whether an XRP account truly belongs to the entity it claims to represent.
