The XRP Ledger team has announced that its developer-facing Testnet and Devnet will be reset on November 25, 2026, between 5 PM and 6 PM Pacific time. The operation will delete all existing on-chain state, including accounts, balances, tokens, transactions, account settings, offers, automated market makers (AMMs), escrows, and other ledger data. The reset is intended to improve full history server stability after Testnet's single full history server crashed and could not be recovered without resetting the environment.
According to details shared by the XRPL Operations account on November 10, developers will need to obtain new test XRP from the faucet and recreate accounts and setups after the wipe. Those relying on specific addresses can request funding for the same addresses again, though recreated AMMs will generally receive different account addresses. Mainnet, Xahau, and the Hooks Testnet will continue operating normally. Important URLs, network IDs, and validator settings will remain unchanged, and Testnet's amendment statuses will be restored to match Mainnet after the reset. Users are advised not to use the same addresses or key pairs on Mainnet and any test networks. Developers running their own xrpld servers connected to Testnet or Devnet should delete database data and restart after the reset.
The last XRPL Devnet reset occurred on March 3, 2026, due to the Batch amendment requiring more development and to prevent validators from becoming amendment-blocked. The reset comes amid broader XRPL development efforts, including a roadmap featuring confidential transfers, transaction batching, and AI agent infrastructure, as well as recent testing of permission delegation V.1.1 after earlier security revisions.
