The decision to change the name of our project from Ripple Name Service to XRP Name Service was not made lightly.
After careful consideration, we determined that the new name better reflects the core functionality of the project and aligns more closely with the overall brand strategy of our company.
In regards to the original name of our project, the Ripple Name Service, we reached out to the Ripple team to understand their perspective on the matter. The Ripple team acknowledged that the decision was ultimately up to us, and they did not have any objections with our use of “Ripple”. They acknowledged that our project and its use of word “Ripple” were not in conflict with their own branding and projects.
The main reason we chose Ripple Name Service was due to the availability of domains and socials. It’s clear many teams have tried to create a ‘.xrp’ name service, failed, and are now squatting on valuable domains. Although we didn’t feel that this change was necessary, after receiving community feedback we are confident it’s the right move.
Lastly, any twitter members that were previously blocked, have now been unblocked. That was done in error from our community mod. We look forward to building the future of XRP together.
Best,
The XNS Team
