Ripple's former CTO David Schwartz revealed a 'Doomsday' protocol for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to resist authoritarian takeovers. The plan includes making validator nodes anonymous and routing them through networks like Tor and I2P to avoid detection. In case of physical raids or arrests, the system would automatically replace compromised nodes with reserves, maintaining network consensus via a two-layer structure. This approach aims to ensure XRPL's survival and adaptability even under extreme pressure from state actors.
