XRP Supply Cap Bug Went Unnoticed Because Normal Settings Did Not Trigger It
The XRP Ledger Foundation said a bug with the potential to compromise XRP’s 100 billion supply cap remained undetected for years because normal parameters did not activate it.
A bug that could have compromised XRP’s 100 billion supply cap went undetected for years, according to the XRP Ledger Foundation.
The foundation attributed the long delay in detection to the conditions needed to activate the flaw. Normal parameters did not trigger it.
The explanation concerns a potential vulnerability rather than a confirmed supply-cap breach. The source report did not describe any instance in which the bug caused XRP’s cap to be exceeded.
