The XRP Ledger has also implemented the fixCleanup3_2_0 amendment, which is another significant update in the network. The amendment received 85.71% validator consensus with 30 out of 35 trusted validators voting in favor of the amendment, with 5 validators opposing the proposal.

XRP Ledger Fix Amendment Is Live Now

XRPScan data indicates that the amendment has now been activated, with XRPL version 3.2.0 as the minimum version needed to be compatible with the mainnet.

The update has an immediate impact on operators using software versions prior to that. XRPScan said, “The fixCleanup3_2_0 amendment is now active. With this, all nodes running version 3.1.0 and below are amendment blocked until they upgrade to 3.2.0. Please take action to ensure service continuity.”

The latest release is also very well received in the network data. There are currently 103 validators running version 3.2.0, that is 68.67% of all validators, and 543 nodes running version 3.2.0, 64.26% of all nodes. In comparison, version 3.1.3 is still used by 37 validators (24.67%) and 268 nodes (31.72%) meaning a lot of operators have already upgraded, and some are still upgrading.

The milestone was also noted by an XRPL dUNL validator Vet, who posted: “fix amendment for the XRP Ledger just went live, now XRPL 3.2.0 is the new min version for main net.” The validator added, “the XRP Ledger just got better in a flip of the switch moment.”

The alert comes after a previous warning issued by XRPL contributor Vet who wrote, “all nodes running XRPL versions below 3.2.0 will experience service interruptions.”  Those nodes that have not been upgraded will not be able to continue to be compatible with the network following the amendment.

What Has Changed With The Update?

It includes several bug fixes and enhancements to the infrastructure and developers. It also brings in the biggest protocol change in the release, XLS-0095. The XRP Ledger’s server software officially changes its name from rippled to xrpld as part of that change. The migration started on the 15th of June and changes to configuration paths, deployment scripts, metadata references and database directories for node operators.

The fixCleanup3_2_0 patch introduces correction of rounding and accuracy problems detected in the Single Asset Vaults and Lending Protocol on XRP Ledger. It also addresses some bugs in the Permissioned DEX and Permissioned Domains, which enhances the existing functionality without adding any new network features.
