The sampling fix that just merged forward removes the only reason this was skipped. The check no longer inspects the three newest parent traces; it asks Tempo for traces containing both parent and child. Worth recording why this phase was the one that failed while its two siblings passed, because the original assertion treated all three as equivalent and they are not. InboundLedger.cpp opens each phase only when that piece is still needed: header on !haveHeader_ (:672), astree in the else of haveState_ (:689), txtree in the else of haveTransactions_ (:698). A node acquiring a ledger here almost always lacks the account-state tree, so astree opens on essentially every acquire. But it usually already holds the transaction set -- every node sees the same relayed transactions and builds the same set -- so txtree opens on a minority of acquires. The child was always emitting, 5 traces of its own on the run that failed; it just was not in the three most recent acquires. That is now all three sampling-caused skips retired: txq.accept -> txq.accept_tx and this one asserted, and txq.enqueue -> txq.batch_clear narrowed to its real remaining cause, a child that never fires under this workload at all. Contract on this branch: 24 relationships, 19 asserted, 5 skipped, and zero spans declaring a parent without an entry. The five are the two pathfind pairs and the pathfind.request parent (pathfinding disabled and no path-finding RPC issued), rpc.ws_message -> rpc.process (not a code relationship -- rpc.process is a child of rpc.http_request), and txq.batch_clear. None is a sampling artifact. Verification: JSON parses; the four validator tests pass after the merge; 0 unaccounted parentings; counters still 48 span types and 74 unique attributes; otel-naming exits 0. Whether this holds against a live Tempo is what the run this push triggers decides -- the stub proves the query shape, not the corpus.
The XRP Ledger
The XRP Ledger is a decentralized cryptographic ledger powered by a network of peer-to-peer nodes. The XRP Ledger uses a novel Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus algorithm to settle and record transactions in a secure distributed database without a central operator.
XRP
XRP is a public, counterparty-free crypto-asset native to the XRP Ledger, and is designed as a gas token for network services and to bridge different currencies. XRP is traded on the open-market and is available for anyone to access. The XRP Ledger was created in 2012 with a finite supply of 100 billion units of XRP.
xrpld
The server software that powers the XRP Ledger is called xrpld and is available in this repository under the permissive ISC open-source license. The xrpld server software is written primarily in C++ and runs on a variety of platforms. The xrpld server software can run in several modes depending on its configuration.
If you are interested in running an API Server (including a Full History Server), take a look at Clio. (xrpld Reporting Mode has been replaced by Clio.)

Key Features of the XRP Ledger
- Censorship-Resistant Transaction Processing: No single party decides which transactions succeed or fail, and no one can "roll back" a transaction after it completes. As long as those who choose to participate in the network keep it healthy, they can settle transactions in seconds.
- Fast, Efficient Consensus Algorithm: The XRP Ledger's consensus algorithm settles transactions in 4 to 5 seconds, processing at a throughput of up to 1500 transactions per second. These properties put XRP at least an order of magnitude ahead of other top digital assets.
- Finite XRP Supply: When the XRP Ledger began, 100 billion XRP were created, and no more XRP will ever be created. The available supply of XRP decreases slowly over time as small amounts are destroyed to pay transaction fees.
- Responsible Software Governance: A team of full-time developers at Ripple & other organizations maintain and continually improve the XRP Ledger's underlying software with contributions from the open-source community. Ripple acts as a steward for the technology and an advocate for its interests.
- Secure, Adaptable Cryptography: The XRP Ledger relies on industry standard digital signature systems like ECDSA (the same scheme used by Bitcoin) but also supports modern, efficient algorithms like Ed25519. The extensible nature of the XRP Ledger's software makes it possible to add and disable algorithms as the state of the art in cryptography advances.
- Modern Features: Features like Escrow, Checks, and Payment Channels support financial applications atop of the XRP Ledger. This toolbox of advanced features comes with safety features like a process for amending the network and separate checks against invariant constraints.
- On-Ledger Decentralized Exchange: In addition to all the features that make XRP useful on its own, the XRP Ledger also has a fully-functional accounting system for tracking and trading obligations denominated in any way users want, and an exchange built into the protocol. The XRP Ledger can settle long, cross-currency payment paths and exchanges of multiple currencies in atomic transactions, bridging gaps of trust with XRP.
Source Code
Here are some good places to start learning the source code:
- Read the markdown files in the source tree:
src/xrpld/**/*.md. - Read the levelization document to get an idea of the internal dependency graph.
- In the big picture, the
mainfunction constructs anApplicationImpobject, which implements theApplicationvirtual interface. Almost every component in the application takes anApplication¶meter in its constructor, typically namedappand stored as a member variableapp_. This allows most components to depend on any other component.
