According to statements issued by the director of Ripple technology, David Schwartz, Book of XRP (XRPL), which lasted just over an hour before successful resumption of surgery, David Schwartz. The incident, which took place on February 4, saw the freezing of Ledger in the block 93927174 for 64 minutes, before the Walidacze successfully launched him at 10:58 UTC.
The Book of XRP stopped for 1 hour
Blockchain Explorers confirm that no fresh validations were published during the detention, raising immediate questions throughout the XRP community about the cause of interference. Moments after resuming Schwartz’s network activities – also known as “Joelkatz” – he contributed to X to peaceful users and provide preliminary arrangements.
“The network is coming back now. We do not know exactly what caused the problem – wrote Schwartz. “Super-Placówka: It seemed that the consensus worked, but no validation was published, causing the network separating. The operators of the validators manually intervened to choose a reasonable starting point (after the last book, which everyone could see as fully approved) and from then on they begin validations. (This can be done without coordination, but it is always better to get second and third opinions. “
He added that when several sources issued several validations, the network managed to restore the consensus by restoring the book. However, he emphasized the preliminary nature of these findings: “When the servers began to see several validations from several sources, they were able to build enough consensus to transfer the network to the coordinated book of the book after the last book, the network managed to verify. This is all preliminary and may be wrong. “
Schwartz noticed: “Very few UNL operators actually made any changes, if I can say, so it is possible that the network has spontaneously recovered. I’m not sure yet. “
Later he offered a further update: “Update: it looks like if we can say, only one coating operator intervened manually. It is still not entirely clear whether it solved the problem or the network itself. “
Shortly after the RIPPLEX-CONDITION RIPPLEX OPERATION RIPPLE weighed: “The Book of XRP has resumed progress – the RIPPLEX team is investigating the main cause and will provide updates as soon as possible. Reminder: Your funds have always been safe! “
Although XRPL has a reputation of speed and reliability, this failure emphasizes the wider reality of the Distributed Book systems in which validation and consensus behavior remain crucial for the stability of the network. This is not the first time XRPL encountered technical difficulties. Over the past year, Ledger encountered a node disaster in November 2024 and suffered a knot of full history in September of the same year.
During the press, the XRP traded USD 2,4979.
