In response to a suggestion that Ripple give the majority of the tokens held in escrow to the XRP Ledger Foundation (XRPLF) in order to support the XRP community, Ripple CTO David Schwartz responded. Panos Mekras, co-founder of Anodos Finance, made the original suggestion because he thinks XRPLF would be a better use for the locked-up XRP tokens in Ripple’s escrow.
CryptoCaster Quick Check:
Mekras specifically recommended that Ripple make a donation to XRPL so that the group can oversee it and distribute the tokens among different projects, like grants, advertising, awareness campaigns, and other activities, to improve the XRP ecosystem.
Mekras further contended that Ripple might no longer need to hold more than 10 billion XRP. According to recent data from the Ripple API, the company may have 40.1 billion XRP.
David Schwartz, CTO of Ripple, retorted that it is not possible to carry out the idea. Schwartz emphasized that it is impractical to just give the XRP to another organization and hope for responsible use.
Furthermore, Schwartz highlighted the difficulty in formulating suitable limitations because the future is unpredictable. However, Schwartz asked the XRP community to consider the consequences of holding onto control in order to maintain caution: “And if we kept control to ensure sanity, what would we accomplish?”
Pre-mining was proposed by X user Mr. CleanX as a possible distribution channel in the interim. The Ripple executive clarified, though, that this kind of thinking is out of step with XRP’s nature because it doesn’t have any mining mechanisms.
Simultaneously, Schwartz recognized the difficulties Ripple has faced in the XRP distribution process, pointing out that it has turned out to be more intricate than first thought. The idea put forth by Schwartz that there is no viable way to distribute the XRP tokens in escrow has also been refuted by other community members. X user Drew Surmenian has suggested establishing a separate foundation to manage the project and give funding for pro-XRP development projects.
We hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I was hoping you would consider taking the step of supporting CryptoCaster’s journalism.
From Elon Musk, Larry Fink(BlackRock) to Jamie Dimon(JP Morgan Chase) a number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the hidden agendas’ which eludes the public concerning the paradigm shift juxtaposed by cryptocurrency and web3 emerging technologies. CryptoCaster is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalistic efforts are produced to serve the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions – not profit motives.
And we avoid the trap that befalls much U.S. and global media – the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection. While fairness and transparency dictates everything we do, we know there is a right and a wrong position in the fight against fiat global banking interest and monetary reconstruction precipitated by the emerging crypto ecology.
When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance and Ripple crisis, we’re not afraid to name who or what is uncovered. And as a crypto sentinel, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective on the global monetary disruption – one so often missing from the insular American and European media bubble.
