David Schwartz, Ripple CTO Emeritus and XRP Ledger chief architect, said his private hub has fully recovered from the July 31 XRPL infrastructure crisis. The hub, a major relay server used by other network nodes, processed about 400 simultaneous connections and reached a peak of 423 between August 25 and September 8. It recorded 135 inbound and 271 outbound connections, while latency fell to 165 milliseconds. A single spike reached 1.49 seconds on September 6 without affecting consensus, and connection drops remained at 84.6 incidents per five-minute interval. The data also showed the Abuse metric falling to nearly zero after developers released the xrpld 3.2.1 hotfix. The patch limited manifest sizes and changed caching for unknown nodes after anonymous attackers flooded the network with thousands of fake validator credentials in a so-called manifest storm. Although the attack caused widespread connection failures at Schwartz's hub, ledger finalization and consensus were not interrupted, and the network was restored without a shutdown. Schwartz described the latest operating condition as "Rock Solid," presenting the telemetry as evidence that XRPL infrastructure is ready for long-term stable operation.
