XRP Ledger Unveils Critical Fixes Ahead of Major Protocol Upgrade

Protocol Fixes Ahead of Major Upgrade

The XRP Ledger is set to implement a critical fix, fixCleanup3_4_0, which addresses various issues with the protocol, including Single Asset Vaults, the Lending Protocol, and Automated Market Makers. The fix has received significant support from validators, with 81.25% consensus.

Validator Support and Activation

For the fix to be activated, validator support must remain above 80% at all times. If support falls below 80% for any period, the fix is rejected, and the 14-day timer starts over. The earliest activation date for fixCleanup3_4_0 is set for October 23, 2026, at 9:34 AM UTC.

FixCleanup3_4_0 Amendment Details

The fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment is a collection of fixes for various issues, including Single Asset Vaults, the Lending Protocol, Automated Market Makers, and permission delegation. It excludes deleted domain offers from the Permissioned DEX invariant, prevents 'AMMClawback' from silently recovering zero, and tightens permissioned DEX domain checks.

Impact on Permission Delegation

The fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment is essential for Permission Delegation, as it enables users to delegate the PaymentBurn granular permission. Without this fix, users would not be able to delegate this permission, and other granular permissions remain unaffected.

Conclusion

The XRP Ledger's fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment is a critical update that addresses various issues with the protocol. With significant validator support and an activation date set for October 23, 2026, this fix is poised to bring much-needed improvements to the XRP Ledger ecosystem.
