Ripple's Big Event in 7 Days: AI and XRP Ledger Security
Ripple is preparing for its next big event, Swell, scheduled for October 27 to 29, 2026, in New York. The event will bring together 1,500 of the world's top decision-makers across traditional finance, crypto, academia, and the XRP ecosystem. Ripple senior software engineer Vito Tumas highlighted the technology driving AI breakthroughs in mathematics and its potential applications for securing the XRP Ledger. Tumas will be participating in the Swell event alongside Dejan Cabrilo from Common Prefix to discuss 'Proof Over Trust: Formally Verifying the XRP Ledger.' The XRP Ledger is implemented in C++ and has a substantial test suite and Antithesis-based fuzzing. Another segment of the Swell event, 'What Happens When AI Moves Money?', will examine the emerging architecture of agentic payments and the infrastructure required for machine-to-machine payments.
