Decrypt reported that the XRP Ledger (XRPL) received a concerningly low security score of 41 out of 100 in a recent Kaiko report, placing it at the bottom among 15 major blockchains. RippleX, the engineering arm of Ripple, swiftly countered this assessment. Their Head of Engineering stated emphatically, "This is not true. XRPL's security level is very high. There has not been a single incident affecting the core network in 13 years." Addressing the supply chain attack in April, where the official XRPL software development kit (SDK) was compromised, RippleX clarified that while the SDK was affected, "the network codebase itself was not affected." The affected software downloads were recovered, mitigating further risk. They maintain this was not a core network vulnerability. Kaiko officials attributed the low score to XRPL's perceived centralization compared to other prominent blockchains, suggesting a potential point of concern despite RippleX's strong defense of its security track record. ```
