Overview
- Ripple, which detailed the overhaul Thursday, is embedding AI into code reviews, adversarial scans, and automated stress tests across the XRP Ledger, a public network used for payments and tokenized assets.
- An AI-assisted red team is now probing legacy and new code and has already found more than 10 bugs, with disclosed issues described as low severity and now being fixed.
- The next XRPL software release will deliver only bug fixes and stability improvements, placing new features on hold to harden the codebase.
- Ripple is raising upgrade standards by requiring multiple independent security audits and larger bug bounties, while modernizing older components in coordination with the XRPL Foundation and XRPL Commons.
- Markets reacted with a short drop in XRP to a two-week low near $1.34 and a jump in Binance open interest, with several long positions liquidated during the week.
