In a recent tweet, Ripple CTO David Schwartz offers a tale of his XRP Ledger hub, a modest enterprise that’s weathered several months since its grand unveiling in August. Schwartz, ever the curious soul, spun up his XRP Ledger node, publishing its output data like a farmer sharing the harvest. 🧠🌾
The Ripple CTO’s hub, a humble production service, aims for unyielding uptime and reliability. Data from it has been as valuable as a well-tended field, offering insights into the XRP Ledger network’s behavior and performance. 🌾
In the most recent update, Schwartz declares his XRPL hub has been “completely solid” for the past month. He investigated anomalies, like a farmer checking his crops, and found no performance issues for peers. 🚀
My XRPL hub has been completely solid for the past month. I’ve investigated the anomalies shown on these graphs and none were associated with any reduction in performance for peers.

This feedback, though modest, aligns with the CTO’s original intent, much like a farmer tending to his land for the greater good. 🧩
As reported, Schwartz gave three reasons for the hub: First, he hadn’t run any XRPL infrastructure in years and thought it’d be “cool” to start again. Second, he noticed latency between validators, like a slow-moving cart, and hoped a megahub would speed things up. Third, he wanted to test theories about localized issues, like a farmer diagnosing a sick crop. 🌾
Ripple CTO reveals new focus
In September, Schwartz announced he’d be stepping away from his day-to-day CTO role by year’s end. An original architect of XRP Ledger, he now focuses on family and personal projects, a move as mysterious as a fox in the woods. 🦊
Yet, Schwartz insists he’s not leaving the XRP community. He’ll still run his XRP node, publish data, and explore use cases beyond Ripple’s scope. A true Renaissance man, he’s joined Ripple’s Board of Directors and Evernorth as a strategic advisor. ðŸ§
