The University of Toronto will start an independent XRP Ledger (XRPL) validator under the Ripple UBRI program. The University of Toronto, Canada's largest university by enrollment, has partnered with San Francisco-based tech company Ripple. Under the partnership, the University of Toronto plans to run an independent XRP Ledger (XRPL) validator focusing on payment processing. With Toronto University being an XRPL validator, the tertiary institution will participate in Ripple's consensus process, which supports the XRP Ledger's decentralization. Like every existing node on the network, Toronto University will be ranked based on its consistency, transparency, availability, and reliability. It is worth noting that the development is part of Ripple's Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI) in the North American country. Since the program commenced in 2018, the leading blockchain company has invested a whopping $2 million in Canada's top colleges and universities over the past five years. Ripple's statement on the partnership: 'This UBRI collaboration strengthens our program's support for blockchain research in Canada and empowers students with valuable skills for a career in the crypto industry.' Following the recent partnership, the University of Toronto will join current partners of Ripple's UBRI program, including Toronto Metropolitan University and the University of Waterloo. The Ripple
