XRP Ledger Adds Flare To Validator List As Anodos Departs

The XRP Ledger Foundation has added Flare to its recommended validator list while removing Anodos Finance at the latter's request, according to CryptoNews. The foundation and Ripple now publish matching sets of 35 validator keys following the membership changes.

Flare joins the recommended list as an active participant in XRPL governance and ecosystem contributions. Separately, Anodos Finance requested its removal as it prepares to shut down its XRP Ledger validator by the end of October.

Matching Validator Sets

A direct examination of the foundation’s published validator-list payload found 35 entries under sequence number 2026102701, while Ripple’s separately published payload contained the exact same 35 validation public keys at sequence number 86. Both payloads included a validator manifest containing the domain xrpl-verification.flare.network.

According to XRPL technical documentation, default server configurations use recommended lists from both the foundation and Ripple, combining lists and counting overlapping validators only once. The documentation emphasizes that running a validator does not require paying a fee or holding XRP, and operators maintain control over their own Unique Node Lists.

Flare's Ecosystem Integration

Flare’s involvement with XRP-based decentralized finance includes active FXRP services. Flare activated FXRP on mainnet in September 2025, deploying single-signature vault deposits and allowing users to borrow dollar stablecoins against their XRP-linked positions through protocols such as Morpho.
