XRP Ledger Hits Major Milestone, Surpassing 88 Million Ledgers

As a researcher with a background in blockchain technology and experience working with various decentralized platforms, I am thrilled to witness XRP Ledger (XRPL) surpassing 88 million ledgers. This milestone signifies the expanding influence and growing popularity of this decentralized public blockchain that powers the XRP cryptocurrency.


The XRP Ledger (XRPL), the decentralized public blockchain underlying the XRP cryptocurrency, has achieved a significant accomplishment by processing its 88 millionth ledger. This landmark event underscores the growing impact of XRP Ledger within the realm of blockchain technology.

Based on the XRP Ledger’s latest update, the current number of ledgers is 88,165,021. There are approximately 5,199,695 active accounts in the XRP Ledger. With the exception of 2022 which holds no XRP, these accounts collectively possess over sixty billion XRP, amounting to 60,278,958,763 units.

In XRPL, a consensus protocol is utilized to guarantee optimal performance. Every few seconds, validator servers – which can be run by anyone – come to an agreement on the sequence and results of XRP transactions. The XRPL ledger represents an unchangeable log of all transactions and account balances, managed and authenticated by a decentralized network of nodes.

Reaching beyond 88 million ledgers signifies more than just a numerical achievement; it symbolizes the expanding adoption and utilization of XRPL. With approximately five million active accounts and a staggering total of over 60 billion XRP, this ledger expansion may serve as an indicator of increased user trust.

In the first quarter of 2024, the XRP Ledger showed significant advancements, as outlined in Ripple’s Q1 XRP Markets Report. Notably, on-chain transactions increased by a considerable 108% and the average transaction costs saw a substantial decrease of 45%.

In the last three months, the XLS-30 was deployed on the XRP Ledger Mainnet, bringing a non-custodial automated market maker (AMM) as a built-in element of the XRP Ledger’s decentralized exchange. The XRP-enabled auto-bridging feature, which facilitates trades between any two assets on the XRP Ledger with XRP serving as the bridge currency, operates in harmony with the XRPL’s AMM mechanism that was introduced on the Mainnet.

As I analyze the growing XRPL (XRP Ledger) ecosystem, with more assets being added and application usage expanding, the significance of automated bridging technology becomes increasingly clear. This feature will be crucial for enhancing the overall functionality and interoperability within our thriving platform.
