Why Keeping Independent Backups of Open Source Code Matters

INFTF Team

Platforms like GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket have made open source collaboration simple and reliable. They host many of the projects that form the core of the Xahau and XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystems. These platforms have played a huge role in building the global developer community that open source depends on.

We keep independent backups of key public repositories to make sure that important code and its full history remain available and verifiable for the long term. These mirrors are not a replacement for GitHub or any other service. They simply make the ecosystem stronger and more resilient.

Each mirror preserves the full record of a project including commits, authors, and license information. This helps anyone confirm where the code came from and trust that it has not been changed. Keeping this data safe across more than one location is good practice for everyone who depends on open source.

We maintain this archive to protect important projects from the Xahau and XRPL ecosystems and to support openness, reliability, and long-term continuity. Visit the archive at https://git.inftf.org

Projects from these ecosystems that wish to be added to the archive can send a request to [email protected].
