The XRP Ledger, that dashing fellow in the world of cryptocurrency, has resumed its operations after a rather unexpected hiatus. On the fateful day of February 5th, 2025, the network experienced a brief disruption in transaction validation, causing quite the kerfuffle.
RippleX, the ever-reliable sidekick, confirmed that the XRP Ledger has resumed its activity, though the exact cause of the disruption remains as clear as muddy waters. Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, took to his trusty X to acknowledge the issue.
The network is now recovering. We don’t know exactly what caused the issue yet.
Super-preliminary observation: It looked like consensus was running but validations were not being published, causing the network to drift apart. Validator operators manually intervened to choose a…

Initially, Schwartz believed that multiple validator operators had manually intervened to restore the network. However, he later clarified that only one operator took action, but it was “still not entirely clear if that solved the problem or the network self-healed.” He also assured that “no ledgers that received majority validation were lost or affected in any way.”
Update: It looks like, as far as we can tell, only one validator operator manually intervened. It’s still not entirely clear if that solved the problem or the network self-healed.

In the XRP Ledger, consensus is as vital as a well-timed wink in a game of poker. If validators fail to agree on which transactions to include, the network halts, much like a well-dressed gentleman finding himself at a loss for words. Prior to this, on November 25th, the XRP Ledger faced a brief outage lasting about 10 minutes. Several nodes crashed and restarted simultaneously, leading to a temporary halt in transaction processing.
Ripple addressed the issue by urging validators and node operators to upgrade to the latest version, Rippled 2.3.0, to enhance network stability and prevent similar incidents. Despite the disruption, Ripple (XRP) price remained relatively stable, trading at approximately $2.50, with a 4% change over the last 24 hours.
