XRP Ledger developers have been notified of a scheduled reset for the Testnet and Devnet on November 25, 2026, between 5 and 6 PM PT, according to U.Today. The primary objective of the maintenance is to improve the stability of the full history server. All on-chain state, including accounts, tokens, and automated market makers (AMMs), will be deleted during the process, requiring users to re-fund and re-setup their accounts afterward.
Scope of Data Deletion
The reset will remove all ledger data from both the Testnet and Devnet environments. This includes accounts, transactions, balances, settings, offers, AMMs, and escrows. Following the reset, Testnet Amendment statuses will be restored to match those of the Mainnet. Developers should note that any AMMs re-created after the reset will generally have different account addresses. As a security best practice, users are urged not to use the same addresses or key pairs on the Mainnet and any test networks.
While the Testnet and Devnet undergo this maintenance, other networks will continue to operate as usual. The Mainnet, Xahau, and the Hooks Testnet are not affected by the reset. Important URLs, Network IDs, and validator settings for the devnet and testnets will remain unchanged. Users running an xrpld server connected to the testnet or Devnet are instructed to delete their database data and restart the server after the reset is complete.
Server Stability and History
Ripple runs the Testnet and Devnet to allow the community to test new features and integrations without risking real money. The current reset addresses a previous dependency on a single full history server. That server previously went down and could not be recovered without a full reset. To prevent future outages, an upgrade was performed to increase the server’s storage capacity.
The last XRPL devnet reset occurred on March 3, 2026. That maintenance was necessitated by the Batch amendment, which required additional development time and a reset to prevent validators from becoming amendment-blocked.
Education Month and Node Updates
The XRPL foundation has also launched the XRP Ledger Education Month. The initiative offers up to $40,000 in awards for educators and content creators. The awards are intended for those who explain upcoming amendments, such as the Lending Protocol, or teach how the XRP Ledger works, including the role of XRP and core protocol philosophies.
Additionally, memory consumption on XRPL nodes has been reduced by up to 23% since version 3.3.0. Memory growth in XRPL nodes was observed in late summer 2025, and the fix for this issue was shipped in xrpld 3.3.0.
