Configure Validator List Threshold

A rippled server uses validators that meet a minimum intersection threshold between UNL publishers. This means a server only uses validators that exist on a number of validator lists, as defined by the server owner. New in: rippled 2.4.0

By default, the minimum threshold is calculated as follows:

  • floor(validator_list_keys / 2) + 1
  • If there are only 1 or 2 validator_list_keys, the threshold is 1.

Modify the Validators File

  1. Edit the validators.txt file. The recommended installation places this file at:

    /etc/opt/ripple/validators.txt
  2. Add the following stanza and a valid threshold number.

    [validator_list_threshold]
    0

Be sure to save the changes and restart your server.

Note
If this value is 0 or isn't set, the threshold will be calculated using the default method. The value also can't be larger than the number of validator_list_keys.
