XRP Ledger Testnet and Devnet Set for November Reset

A Major Reset Coming to XRP Ledger Test Networks

If you build software or test applications on the XRP Ledger, mark your calendar for November 25, 2026. Developers behind the XRP Ledger (XRPL) have announced a full data reset for both the Testnet and Devnet environments.

The maintenance window is scheduled between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM PT. During this one-hour window, all on-chain test data will be completely wiped.

It is important to note that this reset only applies to testing environments. The live XRPL Mainnet, Xahau, and the Hooks Testnet will remain unaffected and operate normally.

Why Is the Reset Necessary?

RippleXRP-0.36% operates the Testnet and Devnet so that developers can build, test smart contracts, and experiment with features without using real funds. Over time, these temporary networks collect heavy amounts of data.

Recently, the XRPL Testnet relied on a single full history server that went offline and could not be recovered without a fresh start. To prevent similar issues in the future, engineers performed an upgrade to expand overall server storage capacity.

A complete reset provides a stable environment and ensures history servers run smoothly moving forward.

What Gets Wiped and What Developers Need to Do

When the reset takes place, all stored test ledger information will be erased. Developers will need to re-fund their test accounts and set up their applications again.

• All test accounts, tokens, and balances will be completely deleted.
• Automated Market Maker (AMM) pools, escrows, orders, and custom account settings will be cleared.
• Testnet Amendment statuses will be restored to mirror current Mainnet settings.
• Newly created AMMs after the reset will receive completely new account addresses.

If you run an xrpld node connected to either Testnet or Devnet, you must delete your local database files and restart your server after the reset completes.

As a safety best practice, developers are reminded never to reuse private keys or wallet addresses across both test networks and the live Mainnet.

Past Resets and Node Performance Upgrades

Periodic resets are standard for development networks. The last Devnet reset occurred on March 3, 2026, to accommodate testing for the Batch amendment and prevent validators from getting blocked.

Alongside network maintenance, core software performance continues to improve. Following memory growth issues observed in late summer 2025, the release of xrpld 3.3.0 reduced node memory consumption by up to 23%.

XRPL Foundation Launches $40,000 Education Month

Beyond technical maintenance, the XRPL Foundation has officially kicked off XRP Ledger Education Month. The initiative offers up to $40,000 in total rewards for creators and educators.

The campaign aims to support high-quality educational content that explains upcoming network features like the Lending Protocol amendment, core ledger mechanics, and overall protocol principles.
