According to Deep Tide TechFlow, on May 5, David Schwartz, co-founder of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Chief Technology Officer of Ripple, responded on Twitter regarding the loss of 32,569 early ledger records. Schwartz stated that the lost records originated from the early development and testing phase of XRPL. A data stream encountered a bug, resulting in the loss of about 10 days of ledger records. Although data recovery was attempted, the first 32,569 blocks could not be retrieved. The team considered clearing the ledger, but this would have deleted more historical records, so they ultimately decided to maintain the status quo. Schwartz emphasized that the loss of these blocks was related to the experimental phase at the beginning of XRPL and was not due to human intervention.
