The post XRP News: Ripple\u2019s Transparent Approach, Research Exposes XRPL Vulnerabilities<\/a> appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News<\/a><\/p>\n In a move towards transparency and continuous improvement, Ripple, the company behind the XRP Ledger (XRPL), has supported research projects through its University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI).\u00a0<\/p>\n One would assume that research funded by the parent company would only yield positive results, however, the recently published research papers have identified vulnerabilities and raised concerns about the XRPL\u2019s security and network structure. <\/p>\n Lawyer and crypto enthusiast Bill Morgan has shared the findings of this research paper in his recent Twitter post. He highlights two specific findings from the research papers.\u00a0<\/p>\n According to Bill Morgan, the research paper titled \u201cA Ripple for Change: Analysis of Frontrunning in the XRP Ledger\u201d raises concerns about frontrunning vulnerabilities in the XRPL. The authors of the paper argue that the current defense mechanism of randomizing transaction execution order in XRPL is not effective enough to prevent frontrunning attacks. <\/p>\n They claim that while frontrunning has been extensively studied in relation to Ethereum, their study is the first of its kind to explore this issue specifically in the context of the XRPL.<\/p>\nBill Morgan Discusses Vulnerabilities in the XRP Ledger\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
