XRP Ledger (XRPL) validator Vet (@Vet_X0) has used the ongoing Monero attack to highlight what he sees as XRP’s superior security model. “You can’t execute chain reorganization attacks” on XRP, he stated, contrasting it with proof-of-work systems that depend on high hashrate incentives to remain secure. Vet argued that these incentives can fail when network mining power is insufficient, exposing smaller chains in the process. He stated, “That’s why the XRP Ledger is the most secure network,” emphasizing its superior design . Vet compared Monero’s vulnerability to Bitcoin’s resilience, noting that Bitcoin is “a lot harder to attack” because the cost to gain majority control of its hashrate is prohibitively high. He added that Monero “just doesn’t have enough hashrate to protect itself with high difficulty,” which makes it susceptible to the kind of takeover currently underway. Thats why the XRP Ledger is the most secure network. You can't execute chain reorganization attacks. All because PoW needs to house incentives. Here on Monero, a $300 million market-cap chain is taking over a $6 billion one. https://t.co/RCykfA6qeT — Vet (@Vet_X0) August 12, 2025 The Monero 51% Attack Monero, a privacy-focused blockchain, recently faced a successful 51% attack. Reports state that the Qubic mining pool has gradually amassed most hashrate over several months. This control has enabled a major chain reorganization, giving Qubic the capability to rewrite the blockchain, execute double-spending, and censor transactions. Estimates place the daily cost of sustaining the attack at $75 million. However, with Qubic effectively able to mine nearly every block, there is potential for significant rewards. At the same time, other miners face a lack of incentive to participate as their blocks can be orphaned, consolidating Qubic’s dominance.

On the XRPL, transactions are confirmed through a process where validators agree on the correct ledger state within seconds, while maintaining the decentralized nature and ensuring no single entity has total control . There is no mining and no probabilistic confirmation model as seen in proof-of-work systems. This means finality is deterministic, and once a ledger is validated, it cannot be reorganized by a majority-hashrate attack, giving it a major advantage over Bitcoin and other proof-of-work blockchains. This design serves as a structural safeguard, and Vet contrasted it with the current incident affecting Monero, where a single mining pool’s dominance has allowed them to alter the blockchain’s history. In this case, the attacking chain’s network value is around $300 million, yet it is successfully exerting control over Monero, which has a market capitalization of roughly $6 billion. In addition to significant energy efficiency , XRP’s design offers far superior security, making it far better than Monero’s or Bitcoin’s consensus mechanism.
