The XRP Ledger operates on a consensus protocol that differs from traditional proof-of-work (PoW) and proof-of-stake (PoS) mechanisms. [8] [3] Transactions are validated by a network of independent validators who reach consensus every 3 to 5 seconds, enabling rapid transaction settlement. [8]
In cryptocurrencies, an unspent transaction output (UTXO) is a distinctive element in a subset of digital currency models. A UTXO represents a certain amount of cryptocurrency that has been authorized by a sender and is available to be spent by a recipient.
[59] [61] Each block typically contains a hash pointer as a link to a previous block, [61] a timestamp, and transaction data. [62] By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data. A blockchain is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and ...
But it wasn't the only one, with Solana (CRYPTO: SOL) falling 20.2% at its low and Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK) down 32.8%, although the two tokens are now down 8.4% and 16%, respectively, from Friday ...
XRP Transaction Speed XRP’s main selling point has always been its speed. Unlike Bitcoin, which often requires extended periods of time to complete a transaction, XRP transactions settle in seconds.

Gox revealed that they had been targeted by an exploit in Bitcoin protocol called "Transaction Malleability". At the time, Mt. Gox was the world's largest bitcoin exchange, handling approximately 70% of all bitcoin ...
This is especially true of cryptographic hash functions, which may be used to detect many data corruption errors and verify overall data integrity; if the computed checksum for the current data input matches the stored value of a previously computed checksum, there is a very high probability the data has not been accidentally altered or corrupted.
