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 公布 一种增加去中心化并确保没有单个实体对 XRP 分类帐具有操作控制权的策略。
当时，该公司转而使用验证器清单，提高了验证器的安全性，并使用新的动态 UNL 基础设施发布了推荐的唯一节点列表 (UNL)。 此外，该公司宣布将在推荐中添加独立验证器 联合国.
“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 达到主要的权力下放里程碑
XRP Ledger 最近达到了这个巨大的去中心化里程碑。 XRP 账本基金会 发布 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 节点。
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.”
欢迎 @aesthetes_art 已发布的 XRPLF UNL 清单等。@Ripple are 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.

除了 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.
“我们知道，随着这些变化，我们发布的 UNL 中的验证者数量从 35 个略微减少到 34 个。 我们有信心在下一次更新中增加列表的大小，”XRP Ledger Foundation 补充道。
What Role Does Ripple Play Anyway?
在 XRP 账本上，所有节点确保交易符合协议的要求，并就防止双花的订单达成一致。 UNL 是验证器列表。
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.
即使 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.
根据 瑞波币扫描，默认的 UNL 当前仅包含来自 SEC 起诉的公司的一个节点。 其余的是交易所，如 Bitso 和 Bitrue，大学如伦敦的全球大学（英国）、尼科西亚大学（塞浦路斯）、滑铁卢大学（加拿大），XRP 生态系统实体如 Gatehub， 火炬网络、XRP Scan、Towo Labs、Bithomp 等，包括 AT TOKYO（数据中心行业的领先公司）、Flagship Solutions Group 和 Brex。
截至发稿时，XRP 价格为 0.4095 美元。
