XRPL Blockchain Research Summit

Two days. Three communities. One shared question: what does the next generation of ledger technology look like — and how do we build it responsibly?

The Blockchain Research Summit brings together researchers, builders, and EU regulatory representatives for deep technical sessions and policy dialogue — designed to produce lasting outputs: the XRPL Commons Research Anthology, a set of open research problems, and concrete collaboration agreements between academia, industry, and policy.

Five working groups anchor the program across cryptography & privacy, interoperability, AI × blockchain, compliance, and European digital trust — alongside a dedicated Young Researcher & Industry Track.
