David Schwartz hired security researcher Dan Kaminsky and a Nobel Prize-winning economist to find flaws in XRP Ledger's design. Neither found critical vulnerabilities. The ledger survived review by two of the world's leading experts.
reviewing the architecture of the XRP Ledger in the earliest days, and neither of them could break it. David Schwartz got on the stage. He told a story that I've never heard him tell before, and he talked about how back in the day when he was building XRP Ledger, David had a team. They were working on it, and he bought in, he said, a guy named Dan Kaminsky to review the consensus design. He is one of the smartest minds in security. And then when he came back for his review, Dan told them that he could not find any obvious severe problems with the ledger. On top of that, David said they later had a Nobel Prize-winning economist also review the design. And of course, that guy couldn't find anything. So he had two of the most expert minds in two different fields independently reviewing the architecture of the XRP ledger in the earliest days, and neither of them could break it.
