Nik BougalisIn his tweet he wrote:
“My ten years at Ripple have been a wonderful (if exhausting and exhausting) journey. I’m working on a project I love, something I believe in, but that will be over in a few weeks.”
Bougalis oversaw a number of developments in the ledger’s codebase, including the introduction of NFTs scheduled for release in November.
Bogalis’ departure came while Ripple was in the testing phase of an XRP Ledger project compatible with Ethereum-based smart contracts. This technology could allow developers familiar with Ripple’s larger Ethereum Virtual Machine software to share their code with Ripple.
