Overview
- Vibhu of the Solana Foundation invited Ripple executives and the XRP community to a livestream debate focused solely on verifiable on-chain data.
- XRP Ledger activity was cited at roughly 25,000 daily active accounts and 1–1.5 million daily transactions versus Solana at more than 2.5 million accounts and about 100 million transactions.
- Monthly transfer comparisons referenced XRP at about $50–60 billion while Solana’s October stablecoin transfers were reported near $2 trillion, with analytics cited as filtering wash activity.
- Former Ripple developer-relations head Matt Hamilton was reported to have accepted the challenge, with an XRPL validator relaying his response and a community host offering to organize the event.
- XRP community members argued the networks serve different goals, as coverage also noted reports of institutional experiments on Solana and ongoing XRPL work such as the Multi-Purpose Token framework.
