Hold onto Your Hats! XRPScan’s Countdown to 100 Million Ledgers is Almost Here!

by

Well, well, well, folks! XRPScan, the little service that could, has officially started the countdown to 100 MILLION ledgers. Yes, you read that right – 100 million! And as of now, we’re sitting pretty at 99,828,230. 🥳 Close, but not quite there yet! Can you feel the excitement? 😱

Previous Milestones

Now, let’s take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? The XRP Ledger was the brainchild of three techy wizards: David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto. These guys waved their magic wands and-POOF!-the XRP Ledger went live back in June 2012. 🧙‍♂️

And just nine months later, like a toddler running before it walks, it hit its one-millionth ledger. “Wow, that was fast,” you might say. Yeah, it was fast. Too fast, maybe? But, hey, that’s how legends are made! 🚀

The 100 millionth ledger is so close, we can practically taste it. With the network’s average close time at around 5 seconds, we’ll be there before you can say “blockchain revolution.” 🔥

And get this-back in September 2019, the XRP Ledger hit 50 million. Fast forward a bit and BOOM! 60 million by 2020, 70 million by 2021, 80 million in May 2023. You blink, and it’s another million! This network is faster than a caffeinated squirrel! 🐿️

Key Developments Involving XRPL

Hold your horses, because here comes the fun part: what’s been cooking in the XRP Ledger kitchen in 2025? 🔥👨‍🍳

First, the DynamicNFT Amendment decided mutable NFTs were the way to go. Why? Because static NFTs are so last season. Now you can mint NFTs that change with the times! Talk about keeping up with the tech trends! 📸💎

Then there’s the new proposal to implement batch transactions. Imagine executing multiple operations all at once. It’s like juggling flaming torches, but in the blockchain world. 🔥🤹‍♂️

And last but definitely not least, Ripple went and launched an EVM sidechain. That means XRPL Assets can now dance with Ethereum-based smart contracts. It’s like inviting your cool cousin from the other blockchain family to the party. 🕺💃
