The XRP Ledger faced irregular ledger closing speeds on October 20-21, causing some delays in transaction finalization. While some consensus rounds lagged, others proceeded normally, and the network continued advancing ledgers. Ripple's former CTO David Schwartz noted that such delays do not indicate a network outage and highlighted that the ledger's validation depends on trusted validators, with no current evidence linking the issue to major faults. Operators are actively investigating the cause of these intermittent slowdowns to restore consistent performance.
