Blockchain  
and Interoperability

We are pleased to announce that in 2025 XRPL Commons collaborates with University of Lyon 1 and Laboratoire LIRIS on a 3 year PhD program (CIFRE contract).

This research aims to develop a framework to improve the interoperability of decentralized blockchain applications by creating models, methods, and tools that address transaction challenges such as data volume, computational complexity, and latency. The focus is on ensuring compatibility with existing blockchain ecosystems through standardized solutions. Key areas of exploration include the semantic representation, storage, and exchange of objects (such as transactions, images, and physical items), as well as ensuring their integrity and seamless integration for scalable, interoperable applications.

Institut Louis Bachelier

Building the definitive platform where ledger data meets cutting-edge research.

The project seeks to automate the collection of complete ledger history data while providing researchers with both the data and computational resources they need. Its objectives include hosting and maintaining full ledger history, developing robust metrics pipelines for in-depth analysis, and ensuring seamless access to this data via APIs. Additionally, the project aims to onboard at least five researchers to the platform, guaranteeing that high-quality data is readily available to tackle complex data science challenges.

Testimonials

"The Aquarium XRPL residency, which offers a unique support format, gave structure to my entrepreneurial project. These 12 out-of-time weeks enabled me to accelerate the process of designing and creating the product I'd been thinking about for several months. I hope to continue to evolve in this ecosystem in the future."

William Mesclier, Fillgood

"The Aquarium - a truly nourishing experience, and important stepping-stone for my project. [...] The program with XRPL Commons truly brought the deeper dive needed in web3 use-cases to our project, and the team was there to accompany us in its applications. Furthermore, it has been a gateway to the big and diverse XRPL community, which brings many opportunities and exchanges along the way."

Simon Luling, Ekonavi

"The Aquarium XRPL Residency was a transformative experience, offering a wealth of learning and networking with experts in the XRPL community. Arriving with only a vague idea of my project, I emerged with a clear vision of the problem I aim to solve and a well-developed solution strategy. Personal thanks to the XRPL Commons team for their invaluable support and guidance."

Sébastien Manchon, Ekomia

"The XRPL Aquarium program was a unique chance to work with passionate people using blockchain as part of a mission to do good. Being based on location in Paris - breaking the norm of virtual programs -reminded me how great it is to connect in person and why caring for our world is vital."

Matt Mankins, Kudos

"The Aquarium Residency not only gifted me with the invaluable treasures of time, autonomy, and a diverse cohort but also surrounded me with exceptionally kind and supportive individuals who played a pivotal role in nurturing my progress and making the journey even more emotionally fulfilling."

Kelly Zhang, Buddies Club

"From a developer standpoint, the environment was perfect for self-paced learning of the XRPL.org documentation. The exposure to different projects with their specific challenges and experimenting with how the Ledger can help be part of the solution is an exceptional software development environment that would be hard to find in the XRPL ecosphere."

Joshua Magie, Full-Stack Developer

"I am very grateful to the Aquarium XRPL Residency's support of my project. High-level experts' support, from tokenomics to legal and Sustainability, and diving deep into the XRP Ledger is invaluable for our next steps. Thank you!"

Jeanne Bloch, Sparkling Debt

"David and his XRPL Commons team have created a top-tier platform and acceleration program in France, focused on Web3 technologies and the XRP blockchain.
