Ripple CTO to Launch ‘Independent’ XRPL Hub With Enterprise-Grade Specs
Main Idea
Ripple CTO David Schwartz is independently deploying a high-performance server hub for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to support validators and applications, featuring enterprise-grade specifications.
Key Points
1. The server will include an AMD 9950X CPU, 256GB RAM, 2TB SATA SSD (boot), 2x2TB NVMe SSDs in RAID 0, and a 10GB unmetered connection.
2. The hub will run on Ubuntu LTE and be located in a New York City datacenter, with no disruptive testing planned.
3. It will reserve slots for UNL validators and critical XRPL hubs, with excess capacity available to the public on a best-effort basis.
4. Schwartz emphasized that no part of XRPL should rely entirely on one hub, reinforcing decentralization principles.
5. The announcement was well-received by the community as a step toward strengthening XRPL's infrastructure amid growing interest in XRPL-based applications.
