Case Study: XRP Ledger Foundation achieves real-time blockchain analytics with QuestDB

XRP Ledger and the Xahau network leverage QuestDB for time-series data

The XRP Ledger Foundation, now the Inclusive Financial Technology Foundation, needed fast, modern tooling to support real-time analytics for the XRP Ledger and the Xahau network as their ecosystem grew. They turned to QuestDB, an open-source time-series database, to replace a discontinued legacy engine and handle large volumes of blockchain transaction data with high reliability and performance.

With QuestDB, the team can query years of transaction history in milliseconds, power complex SQL-based analytics, and serve real-time market and candlestick data across more than 46,000 trading pairs. QuestDB helped the XRP Ledger Foundation reduce total cost of ownership by over 90% versus its legacy cloud platform, while improving ingest, deduplication, and data access for the broader ecosystem.
