Former Ripple CTO points to XRPL weaknesses as overload disrupts log collection

A slowdown in transaction processing on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) prompted a review of the protocol’s structure and revealed weak points, Ripple’s former chief technology officer David Schwartz said. He said the network faces two scenarios that could cripple it: widespread validator server failures or a breakdown of the consensus process or core protocol functions. Monitoring systems failed to record diagnostic data during the incident, forcing a server reboot without a confirmed cause.
