§2.3

How XRP Ledger transfers are filtered, and why not by the same rule

The standard exclusion block cannot be applied to the XRP Ledger. Its addresses are base58 text rather than binary, it has no zero address, and its one token here does not join the token dimension, so the disputed-decimals test has nothing to test.

The recorded equivalent excludes rows where either side is the token issuer. On the XRP Ledger, issuance and redemption are transfers to and from the issuing account, so issuer-touching rows are the analogue of the mint-and-burn exclusion applied to the EVM chains.

That removes 8,515 of 49,962 rows, 17.0%. The series spans 278 days unfiltered, 272 after the issuer exclusion, and 271 after the trailing partial day is dropped.

Because the two exclusion bases are different, XRP Ledger figures are never added to EVM figures anywhere on this site. A combined total would be a number that neither rule set produced.
