Stunning Revelation! Ripple CTO Ends XRP Early Block Loss Conspiracy Theory! 😱🚨
32,569 Ledger Truths Exposed, Not Intentional Manipulation!
XRP Ledger Controversy
The data for the first 32,569 blocks of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has been missing, leading to long-term speculation in the community. Critics questioned whether Ripple or the development team intentionally deleted transactions to cover up activities or gain benefits, accusing XRP of being overly centralized.
Ripple CTO Clarification
Ripple CTO and XRPL co-founder David Schwartz clarified that the data loss stemmed from errors during the early development testing phase, leading to a 10-day ledger data loss. Aside from the 32,569 blocks, the remaining data has been restored. The team considered resetting the ledger but did not execute it to avoid further historical loss. This was a one-time technical error, not intentional manipulation.
