XRP: Blockchain without 'Genesis'
Imagine a blockchain that has no first block. That's what happened with the XRP Ledger.
Due to a technical error in the early stages of development, the first 32,569 blocks were lost. Therefore, the oldest available block is numbered 32,570, and it is considered the actual 'genesis' of the network.
Despite this loss, the XRP Ledger continues to operate reliably, demonstrating its dependability and resilience.
This fact underscores the uniqueness of XRP among other cryptocurrencies. If you want to learn more about such interesting stories and facts from the world of cryptocurrencies, subscribe to my channel!
