Mayukha Vadari, senior software engineer at Ripplex, reassured the XRP community that changes to the underlying code of the XRP ledger will not affect the integrity of the user’s holdings or ledger.
His statement was a direct response to a recent public talk from Ripple CTO David Schwartz, who admitted to using the Rust programming language to acknowledge the debate about the potential rewrite of the XRP Ledger Server software.
I see a lot of FUDs around this, so if PSA: ripples were rewritten with rust, or if there was a second client that was rusted, I’m not going to do anything in on-chain data. Nothing happens to XRP. Everything about using and building in XRPL remains the same, just a change… https://t.co/injtps6pdy

While the idea sparked concerns and speculation on social media, Vadari made it clear that such changes would not affect on-chain data, user experience, or existing features.
“Nothing will happen to XRP,” he emphasized, highlighting that the language in which the core protocol is written has something to do with user assets and ecosystem operations.
Latest XRPL Updates
Meanwhile, Ripplex has released XRP Ledger version 2.5.0. This is a substantial update that introduces some new features and bug fixes.
The most notable changes include revisions that expand ledger capabilities, particularly in institutional and corporate use cases.
The XLS-85 fix enhances the escrow functionality by allowing you to manage tokens issued by third parties such as Stablecoins. It also introduces support for multipurpose tokens (MPTS), which are primarily designed for institutions.
Another major addition is the fix for the XLS-56. This allows up to eight transactions to be combined into one wrapper transaction. This movement is intended to reduce the high failure rate (approximately 30%) of complex transaction flows.
