Ripple is pretty much fully centralised last I checked - there's a list of nodes controlled by the company and a few other companies involved in setting it up which decide which version of transaction history is valid, and nodes outside that list have no say in their decisions. In theory you can use your own list of nodes, but it's a bad idea to ever do so. Since who you choose to trust has no effect on the Ripple-sanctioned set of transactions and you really don't want your version of history to ever diverge from theirs because then you'll disagree with everyone else on the planet about which transactions are valid, diverging from their chosen trusted list has only downsides.
- noxer 5y agoDid you read the post? Ripple is a company ofc its centralized. The XRPL is the "blockchain" and its NOT controlled by Ripple. They maintain the open source code that does not give any control over the running network at all. >Ripple-sanctioned set of transactions Thats a made up thing. There is not a single Tx that has ever been "sanctioned" on the XRPL Its also simply not possible. You are completely misinformed or intentionally spreading FUD. The time when Ripple ran the whole network is long gone.
