* Set version to 2.4.0 * refactor: Remove unused and add missing includes (#5293) The codebase is filled with includes that are unused, and which thus can be removed. At the same time, the files often do not include all headers that contain the definitions used in those files. This change uses clang-format and clang-tidy to clean up the includes, with minor manual intervention to ensure the code compiles on all platforms. * refactor: Calculate numFeatures automatically (#5324) Requiring manual updates of numFeatures is an annoying manual process that is easily forgotten, and leads to frequent merge conflicts. This change takes advantage of the `XRPL_FEATURE` and `XRPL_FIX` macros, and adds a new `XRPL_RETIRE` macro to automatically set `numFeatures`. * refactor: Improve ordering of headers with clang-format (#5343) Removes all manual header groupings from source and header files by leveraging clang-format options. * Rename "deadlock" to "stall" in `LoadManager` (#5341) What the LoadManager class does is stall detection, which is not the same as deadlock detection. In the condition of severe CPU starvation, LoadManager will currently intentionally crash rippled reporting `LogicError: Deadlock detected`. This error message is misleading as the condition being detected is not a deadlock. This change fixes and refactors the code in response. * Adds hub.xrpl-commons.org as a new Bootstrap Cluster (#5263) * fix: Error message for ledger_entry rpc (#5344) Changes the error to `malformedAddress` for `permissioned_domain` in the `ledger_entry` rpc, when the account is not a string. This change makes it more clear to a user what is wrong with their request. * fix: Handle invalid marker parameter in grpc call (#5317) The `end_marker` is used to limit the range of ledger entries to fetch. If `end_marker` is less than `marker`, a crash can occur. This change adds an additional check. * fix: trust line RPC no ripple flag (#5345) The Trustline RPC `no_ripple` flag gets set depending on `lsfDefaultRipple` flag, which is not a flag of a trustline but of the account root. The `lsfDefaultRipple` flag does not provide any insight if this particular trust line has `lsfLowNoRipple` or `lsfHighNoRipple` flag set, so it should not be used here at all. This change simplifies the logic. * refactor: Updates Conan dependencies: RocksDB (#5335) Updates RocksDB to version 9.7.3, the latest version supported in Conan 1.x. A patch for 9.7.4 that fixes a memory leak is included. * fix: Remove null pointer deref, just do abort (#5338) This change removes the existing undefined behavior from `LogicError`, so we can be certain that there will be always a stacktrace. De-referencing a null pointer is an old trick to generate `SIGSEGV`, which would typically also create a stacktrace. However it is also an undefined behaviour and compilers can do something else. A more robust way to create a stacktrace while crashing the program is to use `std::abort`, which we have also used in this location for a long time. If we combine the two, we might not get the expected behaviour - namely, the nullpointer deref followed by `std::abort`, as handled in certain compiler versions may not immediately cause a crash. We have observed stacktrace being wiped instead, and thread put in indeterminate state, then stacktrace created without any useful information. * chore: Add PR number to payload (#5310) This PR adds one more payload field to the libXRPL compatibility check workflow - the PR number itself. * chore: Update link to ripple-binary-codec (#5355) The link to ripple-binary-codec's definitions.json appears to be outdated. The updated link is also documented here: https://xrpl.org/docs/references/protocol/binary-format#definitions-file * Prevent consensus from getting stuck in the establish phase (#5277) - Detects if the consensus process is "stalled". If it is, then we can declare a consensus and end successfully even if we do not have 80% agreement on our proposal. - "Stalled" is defined as: - We have a close time consensus - Each disputed transaction is individually stalled: - It has been in the final "stuck" 95% requirement for at least 2 (avMIN_ROUNDS) "inner rounds" of phaseEstablish, - and either all of the other trusted proposers or this validator, if proposing, have had the same vote(s) for at least 4 (avSTALLED_ROUNDS) "inner rounds", and at least 80% of the validators (including this one, if appropriate) agree about the vote (whether yes or no). - If we have been in the establish phase for more than 10x the previous consensus establish phase's time, then consensus is considered "expired", and we will leave the round, which sends a partial validation (indicating that the node is moving on without validating). Two restrictions avoid prematurely exiting, or having an extended exit in extreme situations. - The 10x time is clamped to be within a range of 15s (ledgerMAX_CONSENSUS) to 120s (ledgerABANDON_CONSENSUS). - If consensus has not had an opportunity to walk through all avalanche states (defined as not going through 8 "inner rounds" of phaseEstablish), then ConsensusState::Expired is treated as ConsensusState::No. - When enough nodes leave the round, any remaining nodes will see they've fallen behind, and move on, too, generally before hitting the timeout. Any validations or partial validations sent during this time will help the consensus process bring the nodes back together. --------- Co-authored-by: Michael Legleux <mlegleux@ripple.com> Co-authored-by: Bart <bthomee@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Ed Hennis <ed@ripple.com> Co-authored-by: Bronek Kozicki <brok@incorrekt.com> Co-authored-by: Darius Tumas <Tokeiito@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Sergey Kuznetsov <skuznetsov@ripple.com> Co-authored-by: cyan317 <120398799+cindyyan317@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Vlad <129996061+vvysokikh1@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Alex Kremer <akremer@ripple.com>
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 asset native to the XRP Ledger, and is designed to bridge the many different currencies in use worldwide. 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.
rippled
The server software that powers the XRP Ledger is called rippled and is available in this repository under the permissive ISC open-source license. The rippled server software is written primarily in C++ and runs on a variety of platforms. The rippled 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. (rippled 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 costs.
- Responsible Software Governance: A team of full-time, world-class developers at Ripple 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, and builds constructive relationships with governments and financial institutions worldwide.
- 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 for Smart Contracts: Features like Escrow, Checks, and Payment Channels support cutting-edge financial applications including the Interledger Protocol. 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/ripple/**/*.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.
