The harness killed and probed node directories named `node<N>`, but the
directories it creates are `validator-<N>` in run-full-validation.sh and
`bench-node-<N>` in benchmark.sh. Verified with pgrep against processes whose
command lines mimic the real ones: the pattern matched nothing either script
produces. Three consequences, all live:
- `--cleanup` deleted the workdir and left the xrpld processes running. They
are host processes, so the compose teardown does not reach them.
- The pre-run cleanup could not free the previous run's RPC, WS and peer
ports, which surfaces much later as a cluster that never reaches consensus.
- The startup crash fast-fail read a pid path that never exists, so its
`stopped > 0` branch was unreachable and a dead node waited out the full
120-attempt window.
Rather than patch four literals, derive every node path, kill pattern and log
glob from one NODE_PREFIX per script. The directory name is also the node's
identity: the collector's file_log receiver lifts that segment into
service.instance.id, so the directory and the [telemetry] service_instance_id
must agree. Deriving both from one value is what stops them drifting again.
Also in the same files, each confirmed by test rather than inspection:
- The collector readiness probe could never fail. curl -w '%{http_code}'
prints 000 on a refused connection and then exits non-zero, so the
`|| echo 000` inside the substitution appended a second 000 and the
"not ready" comparison never matched. Move the fallback outside.
- The generated config wrote [ips], the starter-list section. A loopback mesh
that must reach quorum is the [ips_fixed] case, which is what the variable,
the comment and the sibling cfg template already said.
- benchmark.sh returned exit 1 for a row it could not measure, though the
exit-code table reserves 1 for "every metric was measured and one breached".
Report 2 there instead.
- Five bc computations fell back to 0, which clears every threshold. The
guards beside them already fall back to the inconclusive token; these now
do too.
- A comment claimed a `|| guard` after a heredoc lands in the heredoc, and
that claim had removed a real guard from the config write. It does not: the
guard runs, and fires when cat fails.
- The EXIT trap was installed 88 lines before stop_workload was defined. If it
fired in that window, errexit aborted the handler on "command not found" and
the cluster reap never ran. Install it below both handlers.
- jq exits 5 on malformed JSON, outside this script's documented codes, so
read_metric now routes that through cannot_measure.
- --nodes and --duration were unvalidated, and --nodes 0 made the pid-count
guard compare 0 with 0 and pass, handing the sampler no pids at all.
- --cleanup now passes -v so the named tempo-data volume goes with it.
Otherwise the next run's Tempo still serves the previous run's traces and a
span assertion can be satisfied by them.
- Five messages reported an attempt count as seconds, though each attempt is
a sleep plus every node's probe.
The baselines README and the two regression JSON files had gone stale when the
baseline was refreshed to a three-run median: they described 20 gated keys and
five exclusions, against an actual 19 and six, and cited the superseded run,
date and commit. Re-derive every affected figure from the committed files. The
detection floors are recomputed (2.00x to 7.41x, so a 10x regression is now
caught on all 19 keys), the newly excluded span.ledger.build.p99 is documented,
and figures that no committed artifact can verify are either replaced with
derivable ones or labelled with their numerator.
No baseline value, threshold bound or derivation entry changes.
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.
