XRP Ledger set for rare 100% consensus fix in 72 hours

The XRP Ledger is preparing for a rare update that has achieved 100% consensus among validators. The fixBatchV1_2 amendment is set to go live on the mainnet within the next 72 hours, surpassing the usual 80% threshold required for such changes. This update was introduced in the xrpld 3.4.1 version released on September 25 and does not require manual voting, as it is a default yes amendment.

The fixBatchV1_2 amendment addresses a minor issue with the Batch feature, though the specific details of the fix have not been disclosed. Developers plan to share a detailed technical report after the amendment is activated. The update is scheduled to take effect on October 9, coinciding with the activation of the BatchV1_1 amendment, provided validator support remains above 80% continuously.

In related news, the Smart Escrow Devnet has been updated to its ninth release, transitioning to new infrastructure. Meanwhile, Ripple has announced a deeper partnership with Brevan Howard, an alternative investment manager. Under the expanded agreement, Ripple Prime will offer multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing, and financing services to Brevan Howard funds, reflecting growing demand for such solutions in both traditional and digital markets.
