<a href="https://u.today/xrpl-developer-unveils-huge-vision-for-xrp-fiat-gateway" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP Ledger</a> (XRPL) recently received an important update to its Unique Node List (UNL). This development was revealed by the official X handle of XRP Ledger Foundation (XRPLF), an independent, nonprofit foundation that furthers activity and development on the XRP Ledger ecosystem.
XRP Ledger relies on a critical trust mechanism known as the Unique Node List (UNL) to preserve network integrity. At the heart of this approach is a list of validators carefully selected by network participants to prevent fraudulent activity.
Validators are responsible for agreeing on the order and correctness of transactions on the ledger.
The XRP Ledger’s consensus algorithm relies on a majority of validators in the UNL agreeing on the state of the ledger. This makes the UNL a vital component of the network’s security and efficiency; thus keeping the list of validators up to date remains crucial.

The most recent update to the <a href="https://u.today/xrp-ledger-updated-its-unl-what-does-this-mean" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">UNL</a> includes new changes aimed at improving the performance and security of the XRP Ledger.
These changes include the addition of new validators; the updated UNL has added a new validator to the list. Second is the removal of inactive validators.

In a recent <a href="https://x.com/XRPLF/status/1830542355440554029" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">tweet</a>, XRPLF announced that an updated UNL for the XRPL has been released with new changes: a new XRPL validator, Interledger, was added, while ftso.eu, Flare network's infrastructure provider, was removed.
"An updated UNL for the XRPL was released today. The changes are Interledger has been added and ftso.eu has been removed. We thank ftso.eu on behalf of all operators for their contribution," XRPLF wrote.
In a recent tweet, ftso.eu, Flare network's infrastructure provider, stated the reason for its withdrawal, saying, "It decided to focus on Flare Networks now and leave the xrp validator role open for grabs."
Earlier, the Flare network's infrastructure provider stated that it would turn off its XRPL validator by the end of August.
