AI discovers XRP Ledger flaw that could mint 18 trillion tokens and put $94 billion market at risk

- An AI agent just found a decade-old XRPL bug that could have minted 18 trillion XRP. Veria Labs got the max bounty; RippleX panicked and bypassed governance to patch it immediately. No funds were stolen, but the fact that human auditors missed this for ten years while AI did the heavy lifting is embarrassing. The network survived because validators upgraded fast, avoiding consensus hell. This proves legacy code is a ticking time bomb and AI is now the only thing keeping the lights on. If you’re still trusting manual audits over machine verification, you’re holding a meat wallet with a hole in it. Secure your stack or get rekt by the next algorithmic leak.
