XRPL Validators Urged to Upgrade to Rippled 2.3.0 Following Network Pause

  • XRPL network stability enhanced through Rippled 2.3.0 update after node disruptions.

  • Caching layer bug identified as cause of missing ledger and network transaction halt.

  • RippleX to release a detailed root cause analysis after December 12 to mitigate risks.

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) went down briefly on November 25, 2024. This stopped transaction processing for about 10 minutes. RippleX has since urged validators and node operators to upgrade their networks to the latest version, Rippled 2.3.0. This will make the network more stable and prevent similar problems.

The network issue happened at around 13:39 UTC. Several XRPL nodes crashed and restarted, including Full History, Current Ledger, Pathfinding, and Submission nodes.
