  • The XRP Ledger Consensus Process
  • Consensus
    • Concensus
      • Through the consensus process, validating nodes agree on a specific subset of the candidate transactions to be considered for the next ledger
      • Consensus is an iterative process in which nodes relay proposals, or sets of candidate transactions.
      • Nodes communicate and update proposals until a supermajority 5 of peers agree on the same set of candidate transactions.
    • Validation
      • The validating nodes calculate a new version of the ledger and relay their results to the network, each sending a signed hash of the ledger it calculated based on the candidate transactions proposed during consensus.
      • In cases where a node is in the minority, having computed a ledger that differs from its peers, the node disregards the ledger it computed 9. It recomputes the correct ledger, or retrieves the correct ledger as needed.

Transaction

  • Reliable Transaction Submission
    • Best Practices
    • Your rippled server should automatically acquire the missing ledger versions when it has spare resources (CPU/RAM/disk IO) to do so, unless the ledgers are older than its configured amount of history to store. Depending on the size of the gap and the resource usage of your server, acquiring missing ledgers should take a few minutes. You can also manually request your server to acquire historical ledger versions using the ledger_request method.
    • Use the LastLedgerSequence parameter to prevent undesirable cases where a transaction is not confirmed promptly but could be included in a future ledger. You should specify the LastLedgerSequence parameter on every transaction. Automated processes should use a value of 4 greater than the last validated ledger index to make sure that a transaction is validated or rejected in a predictable and prompt way.

Ledger

  • Ledgers
    • Ledger = Header + Transaction Tree + State Tree (Ledger Objects)
    • At any given time, a rippled instance has an in-progress "current" open ledger, plus some number of closed ledgers that have not yet been approved by consensus, and any number of historical ledgers that have been validated by consensus.
    • Only the validated ledgers are certain to be correct and immutable.
  • Ledger Header
    • Two ledgers with the same hash are always the same.
    • For validated ledgers, hash values and sequence numbers are equally valid and correlate 1:1.
    • Two different rippled servers may have different contents for a current ledger with the same ledger index, due to latency in propagating transactions throughout the network.
    • There may be multiple closed ledger versions competing to be validated by consensus. These ledger versions have the same sequence number but different contents (and different hashes). Only one of these closed ledgers can become validated.
    • A current ledger's contents change over time, which would cause its hash to change, even though its ledger index number stays the same. The hash of a ledger is not calculated until the ledger is closed.

Inclusion Parties are able to discover each other freely, and transact directly, in a single, open network
Assured identity Parties will have assurance over the identity of participants in the network
Privacy The only parties who have access to the details of a transaction are those who participate in the transaction and those who need to assure themselves of transaction provenance.
Shared logic The behavior of agreements managed by the system will be described in computer code that is shared to ensure onsistency and validity of agreements
Legal footing Deals recorded by the ledger are, by contract, accepted as admissible evidence and legally binding by all parties in any dispute
Authoritative Facts recorded by the ledger are regarded as authoritative rather than “shadows” of authoritative data held elsewhere
Immutability Facts recorded on the ledger are final and immutable; errors and unwinds must be processed through a subsequent transaction
Open The system is open: open source, participation, development, governance and standards to ensure the platform balances the needs of its diverse user-base in a transparent fashion

Decentraland

The finite, traversable, 3D virtual space within Decentraland is called LAND, a non-fungible digital asset maintained in an Ethereum smart contract. Land is divided into parcels that are identified by cartesian coordinates (x,y). These parcels are permanently owned by members of the community and are purchased using MANA, Decentraland’s cryptocurrency token. This gives users full control over the environments and applications that they create, which can range from anything like static 3D scenes to more interactive applications or games.

Some parcels are further organized into themed communities, or Districts. By organizing parcels into Districts, the community can create shared spaces with common interests and uses. You can find a list of the original District Proposals on GitHub. The content that makes up Decentraland is stored and distributed via a decentralized network while ownership and transactions are validated on the Ethereum blockchain.

Decentraland is partnering with Matic to create a sidechain (a special kind of blockchain) that will be able to handle transactions faster and cheaper than the main Ethereum network. This sidechain will be ideal for in-game transactions, as changes can occur closer to real time and at a very low cost. For transactions that involve valuable items, we’ll still recommend the main Ethereum chain, as it will be more secure.

Mirror Protocol

Synthetic tokens are tokens that provide "synthetic" exposure to the physical or abstract good that they represent without requiring one-to-one backing.

Synthetic tokens tend to be more affordable to hold as they typically charge no holding fee.

Mirror is a protocol that allows anyone to issue and trade synthetic assets that track the price of real world assets.

Anyone can mint an mAsset by locking up collateral, either in the form of as stablecoin or a different mAsset.

The Mirror protocol creates incentives for minters to mint assets and provide liquidity for traders.

The Mirror protocol utilizes AMMs to facilitate mAsset, trading against stablecoins.

When the collateral ratio drops below the minimum, the Mirror protocol needs a way to retrieve and burn the respective mAssets. It does so by seizing a portion of the collateral and initiating an auction at a discount for anyone willing to sell the mAsset in exchange.

Anchor Protocol

The Anchor rate is powered by a diversified stream of staking rewards from major proof-of-stake blockchains, and therefore can be expected to be much more stable than money market interest rates.

The Anchor protocol defines a money market between a lender, looking to earn stable yields on their stablecoins, and a borrower, looking to borrow stablecoins on stakeable assets.
