Ripple Hits New UNL Decentralization Milestone, Here Are The Participants
Although the XRP Ledger (XRP) is an open-source, public, and decentralized layer 1 blockchain run by a global community of developers, there has been a history of criticism for perceived centralization; the most high-profile case being the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission accusing Ripple Labs of issuing an unregistered security.
Critics cite the original distribution of XRP to Ripple on the one hand and the functionality of the XRP ledger on the other. Back in May 2017, Ripple aangekondig 'n strategie om desentralisasie te verhoog en te verseker dat geen enkele entiteit operasionele beheer oor die XRP Grootboek het nie.
Op daardie tydstip het die maatskappy oorgeskakel na die gebruik van validator-manifes, verbeterde validator-sekuriteit en 'n aanbevole Unique Node List (UNL) gepubliseer deur die nuwe Dynamic UNL-infrastruktuur te gebruik. Daarbenewens het die maatskappy aangekondig dat onafhanklike valideerders by die aanbevole gevoeg sal word EEN.
“During that time, for every two independent validators that are added in the recommended UNL, one Ripple-operated validator will be removed,” the company announced back in February 2018m and went on to say; “The end state will be a network with a varied set of validators, operated by multiple entities from different locations, all sharing one common goal: the long term health and stability of the XRP Ledger.
XRPL bereik groot desentralisasie-mylpaal
Die XRP-grootboek het onlangs hierdie massiewe desentralisasie-mylpaal bereik. Die XRP-grootboekstigting vrygestel its latest UNL recommendation yesterday. According to it, Aesthetes, an NFT marketplace for physical and digital art, has been added to the UNL list published by the XRP Ledger Foundation while removing a Ripple knoop.
The XRP Ledger node on the dUNL @rippleitinNZ, wrote via Twitter, “Ripple is now down to 1 validator on published UNL’s out of 34 (2.9%) and no single entity has more than 1 validator on the UNL.”

Behalwe die Ripple validator, the University of Korea validator was also removed from the list. According to the report, its operator was “unavailable for weeks” and occupied a slot for a negative unique-node list, which includes validators temporarily offline during crashes or maintenance updates.
“Ons is bewus daarvan dat die aantal valideerders in ons gepubliseerde UNL marginaal gedaal het van 35 tot 34 met hierdie veranderinge. Ons is vol vertroue dat ons die lysgrootte in ons volgende opdatering sal vergroot,” het die XRP Ledger Foundation bygevoeg.
What Role Does Ripple Play Anyway?
Op die XRP-grootboek verseker alle nodusse dat transaksies aan die vereistes van die protokol voldoen en ooreenkom op so 'n bestelling wat dubbelbesteding voorkom. UNL'e is die lyste van valideerders.
Currently, there are three publishers: Ripple, the XRP Ledger Foundation, and Coil known for publishing recommended standard lists of high-quality validators. However, each server operator can choose their own UNL, with Ripple’s list being the default at rippled, the server software that powers the XRP Ledger.
Selfs as Ripple recommends its list, it does not then create a centralized system because it is based on an opt-in. If the company ceases operations or acts maliciously, participants can change their UNLs and use a list from another issuer.
Volgens XRP-skandering, die verstek UNL bestaan tans slegs uit een nodus van die maatskappy wat deur die SEC gedagvaar is. Die res is uitruilings, soos Bitso en Bitrue, universiteite soos Londen se Global University (VK), Universiteit van Nicosia (Ciprus), Universiteit van Waterloo (Kanada), XRP-ekosisteem-entiteite soos Gatehub, Flare-netwerk, XRP Scan, Towo Labs, Bithomp, en ander, insluitend AT TOKYO ('n toonaangewende maatskappy in die datasentrumbedryf, Flagship Solutions Group en Brex.
Teen druktyd was die XRP-prys op $0.4095.
