XRP Ledger Sets Record with 2,713 Transactions in Single Ledger
In brief
- XRP Ledger validated 2,713 transactions in ledger 106,943,716, a new single-ledger record
- Ledger closed in 3.8 seconds with stable consensus and no performance degradation
- Majority of transactions were 1-drop transfers across 20 accounts in ring pattern
- Node operators may need to increase websocket message size limits to prevent 1008 errors
- fixCleanup3_3_0 amendment activated for XRPL protocol hardening
Transaction Composition and Network Response
The vast majority of transactions in the record ledger were 1-drop transactions passed in a ring of 20 accounts. Zangana flagged an interesting caveat for those who want to dig into the motivations: the transactions were part of layers of probing by other bots who fired at the same time. The ledger handled the high-frequency, low-value transfer load without degradation.
Operational Guidance for Node Operators
Node operators may need to increase the message size limits of their websocket transaction subscription connections to avoid 1008 policy errors when processing ledgers of this size. This guidance comes directly from Zangana's observations during the record-breaking event.
Protocol Hardening Update
Separately, the fixCleanup3_3_0 amendment went live for protocol hardening, targeting several core XRPL features including Single Asset Vaults, the Lending Protocol, Automated Market Makers, the permissioned DEX, Checks, and pseudo-accounts.
