XRP Ledger Sees Major Performance Boost in Version 3.4.0 Upgrade

The XRP Ledger has received an important software upgrade to version 3.4.0, aimed at improving its efficiency and stability.

This update introduces a range of performance improvements, bug fixes, and protocol changes that will benefit the network's servers in several ways.

One notable change is designed to help servers stay up to date by pausing online deletion when there are gaps in their recent transaction history.

The upgrade also includes smaller optimizations to make the XRP Ledger software faster, such as optimizing checks involving Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPTs).

In addition, numerous fixes have been made to increase the ledger's resistance to unusual inputs and edge cases, including protections against oversized transaction messages.
