đđ˘â ď¸âJ3yD3574N ââ ď¸đ˘đRippleX Addresses Edge on XRP Ledger's Decentralized Identity Change
In a new development that has caught the attention of the blockchain community, RippleX, the development arm of Ripple Labs, announced an update regarding the XLS-40 modification. This proposed change is important as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) aims to integrate native support for Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) into the XRP Ledger, a significant step towards a more self-governing form of digital identity.
However, RippleX's engineering team identified a minor edge case in the XLS-40 decentralized identity specification. This issue could potentially allow users to create empty DID objects, which is not ideal for the functionality of the ledger. To resolve this issue, RippleX has proposed a fix that is currently under review and will be available as a new change to the current offering.
The importance of this correction is emphasized by Ripple's cautious approach; validators have not yet voted on the DID change. The stance is clear: Ripple intends to delay the game until the fix change is available. Although the bug is minor, Ripple advocates releasing the fix first to ensure the integrity and reliability of the change.
Expectations for the fix are high, as the fix is ââexpected to be part of the next core XRPL software release, rippled version 2.2.0. This careful and methodical approach from RippleX reflects the company's commitment to quality and security in its offerings.
Discussions about the XLS-40 feature begin in March 2023. Successful implementation of this feature could signal a new era for digital identity at Ledger, providing users with a standardized and self-managed identity that could transform interactions in the digital space.
