Matt Hamilton Leaves the Firm<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent blog post by Matt Hamilton\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, Ripple's director of developer relations, he has departed the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to his wife's mental health concerns, Hamilton claims that 2021 was a “bad year” for him personally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After realizing he was “spinning too many plates,” he took a step back to focus on his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hamilton<\/a> joined the firm last January to work on expanding the XRP<\/a> ecosystem, having previously worked for tech heavyweights IBM and HP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He helped develop the XRP Ledger Grants program, host the RippleXDev channels on Twitch and Discord, and organize XRPL Hackathons during his very brief tenure at the business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has given talks at a number of technology conferences and other events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seasoned developer expresses his gratitude to Ripple for the “both personal and professional” support he has received from the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite leaving his employment, Hamilton says he will continue to be involved in the XRP community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing Assistance to Developers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to a recent article by The Information, the firm aims to give out 1 billion XRP coins to developers over the next decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program's goal is to encourage the development of new projects within the XRP ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to CoinMarketCap data, the token is currently trading at $0.79.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
