Strengthening XRPL foundation

In March, Ripple revealed it was overhauling how it secures the XRP Ledger with AI at the center of the effort. A dedicated, AI-assisted red team was established with a focus on continuously analyzing the XRPL codebase and how features interact in real-world scenarios, not just in isolation.

This comes as the XRP Ledger handles an increasingly complex workload. The XRPL has been operating continuously since 2012, processing over 100 million ledgers and facilitating more than 3 billion transactions.
