As shared on the Twitter handle of the XRPL foundation, a nonprofit foundation that further the activity and development of the XRP Ledger ecosystem, XRPL's Rippled has seen a new change.
The server software that powers the XRP Ledger is called Rippled and is available in this repository under the permissive ISC open-source license. Ripple and its engineers have been caretakers of and contributors to the C++ reference implementation of the XRPL protocol codebase for the past decade. But now, the authoritative repo for the code is under the XRP Ledger Foundation.
The @RippleXDev team and I have been caretakers of and contributors to the C++ reference implementation of the XRPL protocol codebase for a long, long time.
