XRP Ledger Batch Upgrade Hinges on Validator Support
The XRP Ledger Batch upgrade remains below the threshold needed for activation, despite receiving support from 24 of 35 validators. According to XRPLScan, this represents 68.57% of the required votes, but at least five more affirmative votes are needed to exceed the 80% threshold.
BatchV1_1, which combines up to eight transactions into one coordinated operation, was introduced as a replacement for the original Batch amendment due to a critical authorization flaw. The new version removes the early-exit error and adds authorization safeguards.
While some speculate that BatchV1_1 could activate in September, this is contingent on continued support from more than 80% of validators for two consecutive weeks. If support falls below this level during the period, the activation countdown resets.
