Ripple Plans Nov. 25 Reset of XRP Ledger Testnet and Devnet

Ripple’s XRP Ledger Operations scheduled a one-hour reset of Testnet and Devnet for 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET Nov. 25 (01:00 to 02:00 UTC Nov. 26). The reset follows a failure of the server that stored Testnet’s transaction history. That server cannot be recovered without wiping its existing data.

The reset will remove test accounts, faucet-funded balances, transaction histories, automated market makers, escrow arrangements and order book configurations. Developers will need to rebuild their tests and obtain fresh test tokens. Recreated automated market maker pools will have new account addresses, so applications that use hard-coded pool addresses will need updates.

Ripple plans to increase the server’s storage capacity during maintenance. Public network URLs, Network IDs and validator settings will stay in place. Testnet amendment statuses will reset to match Mainnet.

Mainnet transaction records, XRP balances and real tokens held in users’ wallets will remain untouched. Xahau and Hooks Testnet are also outside the reset.
