Ripple detected 10 errors in the XRP Ledger thanks to artificial intelligence
The company behind XRP launched a security strategy that involves the use of AI.
The greater institutional adoption of the XRP Ledger is what drives these advances.
Ripple claims to be working with a projection towards "the coming decades".
Ripple Labs, the company issuing the cryptocurrency XRP, announced that as part of a new security strategy for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) that involves artificial intelligence (AI), they managed to detect more than 10 errors in the protocol.
According to Ripple, among the detected errors — of which only those of low severity were disclosed — are lack of validations and checks, as well as inconsistencies and rejections of valid payments.
As reported by the company, this detection was achieved due to a security strategy based on the use of AI throughout the software development lifecycle.
This includes code scanning and algorithm-assisted reviews in each change proposal or "pull request", allowing them to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities in the source code.
As part of this strategy, the company established a red team, also supported by artificial intelligence, to simulate attacker behaviors and extreme stress scenarios.
This technical advancement directly responds to the growing institutional adoption of XRPL, which has been reported by Criptonoticia11, driving the need to establish rigorous security standards.
