After AMM Bug Discovery Ripple Dev Proposes Canary Network for XRP Ledger

Canary Network is a bold and innovative platform designed to test and perfect new features before they hit the main stage. This exclusive network serves as a dedicated playground for cutting-edge technology, paving the way for a flawless launch on the mainnet.

“The recent finding of a bug in the freshly launched AMM on the XRP Ledger shows the need for better testing. Testing with real value, on a network that isn’t mainnet. Testing when an amendment is available, not when it was voted in and went live,” Wind wrote on March 25 in an X post.

A Game-changing bug disrupts transactions on March 24th, leading to major consequences. Wind blames lack of pre-launch testing and proposes innovative solution for future prevention.

A virtual playground mirroring the XRP Ledger, designed exclusively for rigorous testing. Complete with its own valuable token, this revolutionary platform mimics real-world scenarios for ultimate accuracy.

The developer proposed exciting proposal to launch real stablecoins like EUR, USD, and USDC in partnership with GateHub. This groundbreaking collaboration will not only enable developers and users to conduct simulated tests, but also empower them to uncover and eliminate potential network vulnerabilities.

According to Wind, it is absolutely imperative to preserve a complete history on the mainnet and offer wallet and tool support for comprehensive testing.

Wind is on a mission to connect with the vibrant and diverse XRP community and its stakeholders. He plans to spark lively discussions and gather valuable insights from ecosystem participants, compliance officers, legal advisors, and representatives from various projects.

Together, they will navigate potential challenges and uncover exciting opportunities.

Discovering the potential of a Canary Network is not a novel idea confined to the XRP Ledger. In fact, numerous other networks have embraced this ingenious concept for their own testing purposes.

Take Ethereum, for instance, which boasts a variety of testnets, including Goerli, Holesky, and Sepolia, to meticulously trial and perfect upgrades before unleashing them onto the mainnet.

The XRP community has rallied behind Wind’s pioneering initiative. However, their support was put to the test when a critical bug was unearthed, causing a temporary shutdown of various protocols utilizing AMM Pools on the XRP ledger.

This discovery has sparked concerns among the community about the future of AMMs on XRPL, especially as it came to light just days after the highly anticipated XRPL AMM launch on March 22.
