XRP Ledger (XRPL) is short Unavailable early Wednesday As a design mechanism of consensus led to a temporary stop in network operations.
The incident began when the network agreed process emerged, but the verification was not published, causing network ledgers to “drift.
In the XRP ledger, the consensus on validators is important for updating the ledger with new transactions. If validators may not agree which transactions will be incorporated into the next version of the Ledger, the network cannot move forward.
A “drift” in this context means that while the consensus protocol is technically running, verification (or confirmations of transaction sets) have not been published.
At least one validator operator has been intervened to reset the agreement of the network to a previously proven Ledger state, although the network seems to have fixed the problem independently, Ripple CTO David Schwarz said in an x post After the incident.
“Servers are likely to refuse to send verification accurately because they know something is wrong,” Schwarz said. “And want to make sure that no server receives a ledger that is fully proven when they do not ensure that the network will remain and eventually agree with that ledger.
“One possible failure mode for XRPL is that if all validators think of something wrong with the network, everyone refuses to send any validation, and then no chatter to let the network be Re -recontorize this is the ‘silent network’, “Schwarz added.
No possession are at risk during downtime, with XRP prices mainly with greater movement of Bitcoin and Altcoin.
