XRPL Maintains Uptime With ZERO Downtime EVER

The XRP Ledger handles 1500 TPS but how can it scale to handle all the transactions for institutional use?

00:00The XRPL has never been down, not in its entire existence, okay?

00:04So there's a difference there.

00:05I just want to make that delineation between paused and down.

00:09Sometimes if there are, there could be a lot of reasons, you know, just congestion on the

00:13network could be overwhelmed, or there could be, you know, too many transactions trying

00:16to be put through the TPS.

00:18It can scale up to 1,500 transactions per second.

00:21That is what can go across the main net on the XRPL.

00:23There are other blockchains that scale to higher, you know, throughput for TPS.

00:30The way that the XRPL scales to infinite transactions is through payment channels and an implicit

00:36or explicit subnet that Ripple or another party will launch.

00:40Many people talked about Cobalt.

00:42Apparently that's dead, according to Matt Hamilton, when my discussion with him, but he mentioned,

00:47you know, I said, well, if that's the case, you know, and that is no longer being worked

00:50on how would you scale the XRPL to, you know, hundreds of thousands of transactions or TPS

00:56transactions per second.

00:58And he said, you know, you would need an implicit or explicit subnet on the XRPL to be able

01:02to scale it to that level.

01:04So I'm confident that that's been built.

01:07Ripples probably has that in their back pocket, potentially has been trialing it with the

01:10private ledgers and the private instances of XRPL that they use with institutions.
