XRP Ledger infrastructure set to receive monumental upgrade

As recently posted by Xumm, a major XRPL wallet, XRP Ledger is going to receive a monumental upgrade: a planned infrastructure overhaul. The anticipated outcome of this revamp is faster local node connections, real-time transaction information and an overall improved user experience. As part of this, the code and intellectual property of the new software to power the xrplcluster will be designed, written and subsequently donated to the XRPL Foundation. Also, the revamp will introduce a paradigm shift: instead of relying on third-party hosting sites where only a handful make a profit, the xrplcluster software will be rebuilt from scratch.
