According to CoinMeta, Ripple has announced that it will reset its XRP testnet and development network on November 25th. This reset will permanently delete existing test accounts, transactions, balances, and other ledger data, with the aim of improving the stability of the infrastructure. The reset is necessary due to a failure in the testnet's historical servers that cannot be recovered from. Developers will need to recreate the test environment after the reset. This reset will not affect the XRP mainnet, and since the test XRP is separate from the actual XRP, deleting the test balances will not impact investors' crypto assets.
