Ripple's Chief Technology Officer is Exploring Native XRP Staking

2 hours ago

On November 19th, as per the report from thestreet, David Schwartz, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Ripple and one of the founding architects of the XRP Ledger, put forward a new model that incorporates staking, which could bring about a fundamental transformation in the operation of the blockchain network. This discussion stemmed from a lengthy tweet by Ripple's Senior Engineering Director J. Ayo Akinyele on X, where he explored the possibility of adding staking functionality to the XRP Ledger. The XRP Ledger was launched in 2012 and employs a Proof-of-Association (PoA) consensus mechanism, with validators reaching an agreement on XRP transactions every 3-5 seconds. In contrast, blockchain platforms such as Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) utilize a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, where users are required to lock or stake their cryptocurrency assets in order to be eligible for transaction confirmation and to secure the network, and in the process, they can earn crypto rewards. Akinyele pointed out that XRP has evolved from a rapid remittance tool to a network that supports tokenized asset settlements and real-time market liquidity. With the launch of the first U.S.-physically-backed XRP exchange-traded product (ETF), the XRP ecosystem has entered a new stage, prompting him and Schwartz to consider providing native staking support on the XRP Ledger.
