What this claim says

page: /network
claim id (yaml): network_unl_counts

Risk note

XRPLF list expired 2026-01-18 — if the page displays count from an expired list, it should disclose the expiry. The signed manifest content is still decodeable post-expiry, but the list itself is no longer being updated by its publisher. Cross-checked by cross_check_walker pair validator_unl_live_vs_stored.
