论文摘要
XRP Ledger是最古老，已建立的区块链之一。尽管XRP Ledger很受欢迎，但对其基础对等网络知之甚少。网络的结构特性会影响其效率，安全性和鲁棒性。我们的目标是通过提供XRP覆盖网络的详细分析来缩小知识差距。 在本文中，我们研究了XRP Ledger对等网络及其时间特征的图理论特性。我们在两个月内爬行XRP分类帐，并收集1,290个独特的网络快照。我们发现了一小部分节点，它们充当网络骨干。此外，我们观察到高网络流失，三分之一的节点每五天更改。我们的发现对XRP分类帐的弹性和安全性具有很大的影响。
XRP Ledger is one of the oldest, well-established blockchains. Despite the popularity of the XRP Ledger, little is known about its underlying peer-to-peer network. The structural properties of a network impact its efficiency, security and robustness. We aim to close the knowledge gap by providing a detailed analysis of the XRP overlay network. In this paper we examine the graph-theoretic properties of the XRP Ledger peer-to-peer network and its temporal characteristics. We crawl the XRP Ledger over two months and collect 1,290 unique network snapshots. We uncover a small group of nodes that act as a networking backbone. In addition, we observe a high network churn, with a third of the nodes changing every five days. Our findings have strong implications for the resilience and safety of the XRP Ledger.
