Abstract
The XRP network (Ripple network) is a global transaction network that settles trans- actions in seconds. It is a technology that provides new opportunities for traditional fi- nancial institutions and startups. In the XRP network, participants depend on each other’s functioning. However, at present Ripple Labs, Inc. is the only actor monitor- ing some form of performance. This paper presents a way for independent individuals to verify the score of validators. Further- more, to improve the insight into the per- formance of validators, a new metric is in- troduced. Together these improvements con- tribute towards a healthy decentralised XRP network.
