How resilient is the XRP Ledger to targeted network attacks? New research involving Carnegie Mellon University and NOVA researchers uses simulations to examine how XRPL's network topology and ability to maintain quorum respond to targeted node failures. Here is what they found. The 80% Quorum Requirement XRPL nodes rely on trusted validator sets and require at least 80% agreement to reach consensus. The researchers focus on a different attack surface: disrupting the network connecting validators rather than attacking the validators themselves. If enough validators become separated from one another that fewer than 80% remain connected, consensus can halt. Targeted Attacks XRPL has shown strong resilience against random node failures. Targeted attacks are different. Prior research cited in the paper found that selectively removing highly connected nodes could compromise network and quorum robustness with dramatically fewer failures than random removal. This study models attacks against two particularly important types of nodes: • High-degree nodes with large numbers of connections • High-betweenness nodes that sit along many network communication paths The simulations progressively remove these nodes and measure when the network fragments or loses enough validator connectivity to maintain quorum. The Proposed Fix: More Connections The strongest mitigation tested was surprisingly simple: random K-out augmentation, where participating nodes establish a small number of additional random peer connections. With only 60% of nodes participating and two additional random connections per participating node, the simulated attack size required to break quorum increased: • 11% → 38% under high-degree attacks • 12% → 33% under high-betweenness attacks Network-fragmentation resilience also increased from 19% → 35% and 18% → 34%, respectively. At higher participation levels, adding around three random connections per node could match or exceed the robustness achieved through substantially more extensive network rewiring. The Takeaway This is simulation research, not evidence that the live XRP Ledger is currently failing. The study uses XRPL topology data collected in 2022, models validator placement because the dataset did not identify validator nodes, and assumes validators themselves cannot be directly targeted. The significance is preventative. The research identifies a potential infrastructure-level weakness under targeted attack models and shows that relatively small changes to peer connectivity could materially improve XRPL's resilience without redesigning the network. ripple:native ethereum:0x8292bb45bf1ee4d140127049757c2e0ff06317ed Read the full academic paper on arXiv below.

THE CASTLE, THE KINGDOM & THE FLAG The Hidden War for Money, Truth & Human Freedom ⏱️11 Minutes to Explain the Plan What if the greatest story of our lifetime was never really about politics? What if it was about money? And what if the battle over money was never really about money either - … but about who gets to measure the value of your time, your labor, your property, your freedom…and ultimately, your life? For generations, we inherited a financial kingdom we did not design. We were born inside its walls. We learned its rules. Worked for its currency. Borrowed its debt. Trusted its institutions. Fought its wars. Watched its screens. And rarely asked the simplest question of all: Who built the castle? Now ask another. What if Bitcoin was the Phoenix signaling that the old monetary age was destined to burn? What if gold represents something civilization once understood about honest weights and measures? What if blockchain wasn’t created merely to give us another asset to speculate upon - … but to challenge the very architecture through which value moves? What if XRP, XRPL and ILP represent pieces of an entirely different possibility: not another king… … but a bridge? And what if the strange symbols, breadcrumbs, battles, technologies and political upheavals of the past 100 years are inviting us to examine a much larger story hiding in plain sight? Maybe you believe you already know the answer. Maybe you think the entire proposition is impossible. Good. Because this film isn’t asking you to surrender your judgment. It’s asking you to use it. Come inside the castle. Meet the King. Find the Phoenix. Follow the Bear. Watch the Knight. Study the puppet strings. Find the Purple Flag. And then confront the question that changes everything: What happens to The King’s Castle when humanity discovers it never needed the throne? This is a story about money. And… Power. Gold. Bitcoin. XRP. America. Faith. Technology. Sovereignty. And the ancient struggle between control and human freedom. Don’t watch because I tell you what to believe. Watch because somewhere between what you’ve been told, what you’ve witnessed and what you can independently discover… … there may be a question you haven’t asked yet. And sometimes one question is enough to pull a thread. One thread can unravel an illusion. One truth can change a life. And enough awakened human beings exercising knowledge, understanding, wisdom and free will … … can change the world. Welcome to - THE CASTLE, THE KINGDOM & THE FLAG Enter curious. {Q}uestion everything. Leave sovereign. @X @POTUS #BTC #XRP #USD @USTreasury @Ripple @federalreserve @cityoflondon
