XRP Ledger to Reset Testnet and Devnet, Erasing Data Nov. 25

The XRP Ledger will reset Testnet and Devnet on Nov. 25, erasing stored data after a server failure while keeping the live Mainnet network running normally.

The reset will remove accounts, transactions, balances, offers, automated market makers, settings, escrows and other ledger data from both testing networks. Testnet’s only full history server failed and could not be recovered without resetting its environment. The project plans to increase Testnet’s server storage capacity to reduce how often it needs a reset, though some data-retention limits will remain.

Testnet is meant to closely mirror Mainnet’s amendment status, and its status will be restored to match Mainnet after the reset. Devnet is used to preview proposed and upcoming features.

Developers who rely on data stored on either network will need to recreate it and request fresh test XRP from the faucet. Operators of xrpld servers connected to Testnet or Devnet should delete their database data and restart after the reset. The important URLs, Network ID and validator settings will stay the same.
