The XRP community is set for a busy stretch as Paris Blockchain Week and a new XRP Ledger security audit contest kick off in mid-April.
An XRP community night event is scheduled for April 15 in Solum, Paris, running from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. The gathering will take place during Paris Blockchain Week, described as one of the major crypto events on Europe’s calendar.
Organizers and community members expect the event to draw strong attendance from European XRP Ledger users and developers, building on prior XRP community night gatherings that brought together builders, partners, and supporters across the ecosystem.
XRPL validator Vet highlighted the week as an important moment for the regional community, noting: “Next week is Paris Blockchain Week.” Vet also said the European XRP community has traditionally had a strong presence there and is “the top regional layer 1 hub thanks to XRPL Commons.”
Alongside the Paris event, developers will also focus on an XRPL hackathon period and a feature-unlock audit contest organized by Sherlock with Ripple. The contest begins April 13 and runs through April 27, 2026.
The audit contest will cover multiple areas from the XRPL roadmap, including:
According to the contest details, the program includes a $550,000 prize pool, placing additional emphasis on security review as the XRP Ledger moves forward with infrastructure changes.
The audit contest follows Ripple’s recent shift toward a more proactive security approach for the XRP Ledger. Last month, Ripple said it was using a more active and AI-driven method to strengthen the network’s security process.
Ripple’s approach is now connected to the two-week contest, which opens the review process to outside researchers and developers. The stated goal is to test upcoming XRPL features under competitive conditions before broader adoption.
