I know how long people have waited for this so I'm excited to let everyone know that the XLS-20-based NFT-Devnet is now available for anyone who wants to begin testing the proposed native NFT extensions to the XRPL.

“All good things…” My decade-long journey at @Ripple has been a fantastic (if exhausting and all-consuming) one. I got to work on a project that I love, towards a goal I believe in. But that journey will be coming to an end in a few weeks. 🧵

(1/3) The 1.9.1 release of rippled is out 🎉🎉🎉 It brings improved performance and reduced resource usage. The @RippleXDev team will be upgrading Ripple's XRPL servers today and configure Ripple validators to vote in support of the XLS-20 proposal.

I’ll miss working with you too, David; you’ve been a mentor, a collaborator, a friend—a true brother in digital arms. I appreciate the kind words, best wishes, and support.

At the @Ripple office, working late. The mission: to enable the world to move money like information moves today.

A large part of the @Ripple C++ team is at #Consensus2018. But that didn't stop us from just releasing rippled 1.0.0. github.com/ripple/rippled…

It’s weird—borderline suspicious, really—that @CoinMarketCap hasn’t fixed their XRP market cap calculation bug yet. I don’t care about market cap per se; it’s about presenting blatantly wrong data. For them to not fix this promptly is a disservice to everyone using that site.

Please fix the XRP circulating supply @CoinMarketCap. You are pulling data from June 2016...

1/10 It's been a stressful couple of weeks as the #XRPL experienced instability, and many in the XRPL community have rallied to try to understand and address the reasons behind it. I'd like to talk about what my @RippleXDev coworkers and I have been doing to help.

Leaving Ripple wasn’t an easy decision, but it is the right one for me. To my fellow Ripplers: I wish you unbridled success. 🍻 As for what’s next? I’ll talk about it when it’s time, but I am NOT joining another blockchain project/company, nor am I doing NFTs or DeFi.

5 years ago today, I signed my employment agreement and officially joined @Ripple, becoming its 8th employee. It’s been an amazing ride so far, and I look forward to it continuing!

Meanwhile, the XRP Ledger moved 1,000,000,000 XRP (presently valued at approximately $630,798,000). Total cost to complete the transaction? $0.000006... yep, 6 millionths of a single dollar. Total time to complete the transaction? 3.79 seconds. xrpcharts.ripple.com/#/transactions…

This Bitcoin block is moving 1/2 a $billion’s worth of BTC 😅 Now that is commerce and utility!

10/10 On a personal note, it has been amazing (and humbling!) to witness the XRPL community rally and face these issues head-on. It’s a challenging time but these are tractable problems and I am confident that, together, we can tackle them. Onwards.

1/7 This past week, the teams at @RippleXDev have continued to focus on performance and stability testing and profile-guided optimizations and improvements. We spent a lot of time testing our proposed fix for the TxQ issues that are resulting in unusually high fees.
