The XRP Ledger Foundation reported that free public nodes it launched with Ankr in August now process over 1.7 million developer requests each day. The service provides JSON-RPC endpoints for mainnet and testnet access without requiring API keys or user registration. Nodes operate in New York, Singapore, Amsterdam and San Francisco.

The free tier stores approximately two weeks of transaction history and includes rate limits. Developers needing complete ledger archives must use alternative providers. The foundation's November 12 update did not specify how many distinct developers or applications currently rely on the infrastructure.
