Ripple Votes to Support Major Amendment in XRP Ledger 3.3.0 Upgrade

Ripple has voted in favor of the Permission Delegation amendment that allows delegation of specific transaction type permissions to other accounts. This helps move forward the XRP Ledger v3.3.0 upgrade, boosting stability, performance, and readiness for institutional and tokenization use cases.

Ripple Approves Permission Delegation Amendment in XRP Ledger Upgrade

Ripple has voted in favor of the major PermissionDelegationV1_1 amendment. The vote by Ripple during the early voting stage signals the company’s push for the XRP Ledger upgrade.

According to the latest voting data, 7 of 35 UNL validators now support the proposal. It requires the 80% threshold or 28/35 votes for two consecutive weeks for mainnet activation.

The proposal introduces an authorization delegation mechanism to enhance the flexibility and usability of XRPL accounts. This allows delegated accounts to manage only permitted tasks, similar to role-based access control.

RippleX product head Jazzi Copper claimed Permission Delegation amendment is so important. “Tokens are the pre-requisite for on-chain utility; you can’t move value without it existing on-chain first. For regulated institutions to bring that value (tokens) on-chain, they need the proper controls to manage them. This is where Permission Delegation comes in,” she said.

As CoinGape reported recently, Ripple has also finally voted in favor of the fixCleanup amendment that consists of bundled fixes for Single Asset Vaults, the Lending Protocol, and others. This is also part of the XRP Ledger v3.3.0 upgrade.

The firm also voted Yes on Single Asset Vault and Lending Protocol amendments. The amendments introduce XRP or RLUSD vaults and credit infrastructure, boosting DeFi and tokenization.

Meanwhile, node operators are required to upgrade to the XRP Ledger 3.3.0 release to avoid getting amendment-blocked once the major upgrade is activated.

The upgrade includes four other amendments or proposals currently in the voting stage. These are Confidential Transfer, BatchV1_1, DynamicMPT, and Sponsor. These need to be approved by Ripple and validators to proceed for the mainnet activation.
