Ripple said that among the detected errors, only low-severity errors are disclosed, but notable ones include lack of verification or validation, and discrepancies or rejections of valid payments.
The company says this detection was achieved through a security strategy based on the use of AI throughout the software development cycle.
This includes code scanning and algorithm-assisted review of each proposed change.pull request« This allows you to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in your source code.
As part of this strategy, the company has established a strike team.red team« Also supported by artificial intelligence, Simulate attacker behavior and extreme stress scenarios.
This technological advancement is a direct response to the increased institutional adoption of XRPL reported by CriptoNoticias, increasing the need to establish rigorous security standards.
The XRP Ledger has been in continuous operation since 2012 and has processed over 3 billion transactions, according to the company’s own data. However, Ripple recognizes that the code has more than a decade of evolution. Reflects design decisions that need to be updated. The company claims to be anticipating and working for the coming decades, but doing so requires overcoming old technology patterns and adapting to modern tools of systematic analysis.
As an interim measure, Ripple has confirmed the following software releases: Focus only on bug fixes Improved stability without adding new features.
Additionally, the organization indicated that it had increased the requirements for approval of amendments to the Protocol. from now on Multiple independent audits will be required The bug bounty program will be expanded by the network before the update goes into effect.
By moving to an AI-assisted security model, Ripple is raising the bar for trustworthiness on the XRP ledger. By “healing the cracks in the foundation” and increasing transparency in vulnerability disclosure, the company is committed to establishing XRPL as a financial operating system that can sustain critical institutional operations for decades to come.
