1/ As the XRP Ledger grows, so does network traffic, and that’s a good problem to have. But too many duplicate validator messages can flood the pipes. Enter → Squelching: an algorithmic solution to keep XRPL fast, lean, and scalable.

2/ The XRP Ledger’s default message relay method is flooding, super reliable, but super inefficient. 22.8 TB/day of validator traffic Only 7.8% of it is actually useful Squelching helps cut the digital noise.

3/ Base Squelching picks 5 fast, reliable peers per validator, then suppresses the rest, slashing duplicate traffic without losing performance. This one change alone can reduce daily network traffic by 60%+

4/ Enhanced Squelching goes further: It filters out most untrusted validators, focusing only on the most active and connected ones. Combined, these two upgrades can cut network load by 92%. That’s huge.

5/ Both algorithms are rolling out in stages, with Base Squelching arriving in rippled v2.5.0. Want to help test or optimize the rollout? Reach out to @v_tumas at vtumas@ripple.com More here:

@RippleXDev @RippleXDev congrats on pushing the XRPL forward. squelching sounds lowkey revolutionary for efficiency. got me thinking about how the AMM and Trustlines are game-changers for better liquidity management. i'm ramping up my AMM tactics to share 10% of that win with aigent.pass NFT

@RippleXDev Squelch… … requires very high performance machines on a very fast custom network backbone Think: - private - liquid cooled custom hardware - AeroSpike or faster data store . Gone are the days of volunteer Validators . How are these machines remunerated??
