XRPL Updates to Bring Three Amendments in 17 Hours
XRP Price and XRPL Updates: Three Amendments in 17 Hours on October 8 and 9
The XRP Ledger will undergo three protocol changes within 17 hours on October 8 and 9, affecting maintenance windows, self-custody, and the German holding period. The changes include Permission Delegation, which allows accounts to assign individual powers to other accounts without handing over private keys, and Batch, which groups transactions together for trading applications. These amendments are not new features, but rather fixes for previous bugs, with the third change being a security fix to the batch procedure.
For private investors, the changes may not have a significant impact, but for custodians, payment service providers, and companies with dual-control accounts, this separation of powers is a key feature for institutional use. The XRP price remains steady at $1.51, with a gain of 0.74 percent over 24 hours, but the amendments may cause brief maintenance stops for those holding XRP on trading platforms.
The three amendments were queried from the XRP Ledger's mainnet, not from a press release, and their activation dates are October 8 at 11:25 p.m. and October 9 at 4:12 p.m. and 4:46 p.m. respectively. The XRP Ledger's two-week rule requires an amendment to have the approval of at least 80 percent of the trusted validators for two weeks without interruption.
