đš BREAKING: $XRP Ledger Patches Critical XRP Creation Bug â 100B Supply Saved! đĄïž
Massive security win for $XRP Ledger! Developers patched a decade-old critical payment-engine flaw that could have created $XRP beyond fixed 100 billion supply cap.
The vulnerability existed since 2015, affecting xrpld v3.4.0 and earlier. Reported via bug-bounty Sept 22, 2026 â researchers demonstrated exploit on standalone server. Fixed in xrpld v3.4.1 released Sept 25.
Attack method: attacker opens hundreds of DEX accounts, posts tiny offers for massive $XRP amounts, single payment triggers integer overflow â paying sellers in full while charging buyer almost nothing, bypassing supply checks.
Good news: No evidence of exploitation, no unauthorized $XRP minted. All validators must upgrade to v3.4.1 immediately. Network integrity secured.
Related: $XRP, $XLM, $HBAR â payment chains under spotlight for security.
Is XRPL now safest payment ledger?
