XRP Ledger Foundation clarifies security patch: no new XRP minted

  • —The flaw did not create new XRP; supply is fixed at 100 billion since launch
  • —About 99.986 billion XRP are in existence, with all ledger data public
  • —The fix shipped in version 3.4.1 roughly two weeks ago
  • —Activation required over 80% validator support sustained for two weeks
Why it matters: The clarification eases fears of XRP supply inflation but fuels debate over the network's centralized governance.
