AWS & Ripple Team Up: Amazon Bedrock AI Now Monitoring XRP Ledger in Real-Time
Forget manual audits—the ledger's getting a brain.
Amazon Web Services and Ripple just plugged Amazon Bedrock's generative AI directly into the XRP Ledger's nervous system. The move automates what used to require teams of analysts: tracking transaction flows, spotting anomalous patterns, and predicting network stress points. It's a 24/7 synthetic watchdog for one of crypto's oldest settlement layers.
From Data Stream to Intelligence Engine
Bedrock doesn't just read the ledger; it interprets it. The AI models process live transaction data, transforming raw blockchain output into structured insights on liquidity movements, validator performance, and potential bottlenecks. Think of it as a high-frequency traffic control system built on machine learning, designed to keep the XRP settlement rails running smoother and faster.
The Bigger Play: Enterprise-Grade Trust
This isn't just a tech demo. By integrating AWS's flagship AI service, Ripple signals a push for institutional-grade operational transparency. The partnership aims to give financial institutions using RippleNet something they desperately crave: auditable, AI-verified proof of network integrity and performance—minus the army of consultants.
The collaboration cuts through the usual blockchain hype, focusing on a boring-but-critical problem: observability. In a sector obsessed with moonshots, it's a rare bet on infrastructure. After all, what's the point of moving billions in seconds if you can't see where it went? The real innovation here might be giving finance a dashboard it can actually trust—though on Wall Street, they'll probably still want a human to blame.
XRPL seeks to cut operational demands with Amazon Bedrock
According to Ripple’s documents, XRPL operates more than 900 nodes distributed globally in universities, blockchain institutions, wallet providers, and financial firms. The decentralized setup improves its resilience, security, and scalability, but complicates visibility into how the network behaves in real time.

Each node produces between 30 and 50 gigabytes of log data, resulting in an estimated 2 to 2.5 petabytes of data. When incidents occur, engineers must manually sift through these files to identify anomalies and trace them back to the underlying C++ code.
A single investigation could stretch to about two or three days because it requires platform engineers and a limited pool of C++ experts who understand the protocol’s internals to closely coordinate. Platform teams found themselves waiting on engineers before they could respond to incidents or resume feature development, amplified by the age and size of the codebase.
According to AWS technicians speaking at a recent conference, a Red Sea subsea cable cut once affected connectivity for some node operators in the Asia-Pacific region. Ripple’s platform team had to collect logs from affected operators, then process tens of gigabytes per node before a meaningful analysis could begin.
Solutions architect at AWS Vijay Rajagopal said the managed platform that hosts artificial intelligence agents, also known as Amazon Bedrock, is capable of reasoning over large datasets. Using Bedrock on XRPL’s log analysis WOULD supposedly automate pattern recognition and behavioral analysis to cut down time taken by manual inspectors.
According to Rajagopal, Amazon Bedrock is an interpretive LAYER between raw system logs and human operators. It can help scan cryptic entries line by line, and engineers could query AI models that understand the structure and expected behavior of the XRPL system.
AWS Bedrock log processing and code analysis pipeline
Rajagopal also talked about the technical workflow, starting with the raw logs generated by validators, hubs, and client handlers of XRPL. The logs are first transferred into Amazon S3 through a dedicated workflow using GitHub tools and AWS Systems Manager.
Once the data reaches S3, event triggers activate AWS Lambda functions that inspect each file to determine byte ranges for individual chunks in tandem log line boundaries and predefined chunk sizes.
The resulting segments are then sent to Amazon SQS to distribute the processing at scale. A separate log processor Lambda function retrieves only the relevant chunks from S3 based on the metadata it receives. It then extracts log lines and associated metadata before forwarding them to Amazon CloudWatch, where they can be indexed and analyzed.
“It actually retrieves only the relevant chunks from S3 based on the configured chunk metadata that it read. And it passes the log lines, gets the metadata out of it, and puts these log lines and metadata to CloudWatch,” the architect explained.
Away from the log ingestion solution, the system also processes the XRPL codebase with two primary repositories. One contains the Core server software for the XRP Ledger, while the other defines standards and specifications for interoperability with apps built on top of the network.
Updates from these repositories are automatically detected and scheduled through a serverless event bus called Amazon EventBridge. On a defined cadence, the pipeline pulls the latest code and documentation from GitHub, versions the data, and stores it in S3 for further processing.
The AWS engineers claimed that without understanding how the protocol is supposed to behave, raw logs may not be enough to solve node problems and downtimes. They propounded that by linking logs to the standards and server software that define XRPL’s behavior, AI agents can provide more accurate explanations of anomalies.
