XRP Ledger Set for Rare 100% Consensus Update in 72 Hours

The XRP Ledger is preparing for a rare update with 100% consensus, as indicated by data from XRPScan. The fixBatchV1_2 amendment is set to go live on the mainnet within 72 hours, surpassing the network’s standard 80% majority threshold. This update, part of the xrpld 3.4.1 version released on September 25, is a default yes amendment, meaning no manual voting is required.

The fixBatchV1_2 amendment addresses a minor issue with the Batch feature, though it does not pose any risk to funds. Developers have not yet shared the technical details of the fix, but a report is expected after activation. The amendment is scheduled to activate on October 9 alongside the BatchV1_1 amendment, provided validator support remains above 80% continuously.

The Batch feature allows multiple transactions to be processed together, and the BatchV1_1 amendment replaces the original Batch feature to fix a critical bug. Additionally, the Smart Escrow Devnet has been updated to its ninth release, with the old endpoints retired.

In separate news, Ripple has deepened its partnership with alternative investment manager Brevan Howard. Under the expanded agreement, Ripple Prime will now provide multi-asset prime brokerage, clearing, and financing services to Brevan Howard funds. This move reflects growing demand for prime brokerage solutions across traditional and digital markets.
