✅ 15 years ago, David Schwartz made his first commit to the XRP Ledger

On November 11, 2011, David Schwartz, one of the creators of XRPL, made his first changes to the code of what would become the blockchain. He shared this himself on X in 2019.

Development already included transaction infrastructure, accounts, and wallets. The XRP Ledger itself launched in June 2012.

And XRP’s birthday is June 2, 2012. According to Schwartz, it was on this day that Arthur Britto introduced the lines of code from which 100 billion XRP tokens were later created.
