The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has recovered from intermittent transaction-processing delays, although developers are still preparing a permanent software correction.<\/p>\n

On Oct. 22, XRP Ledger Operations confirmed<\/a> that ledger-closing times had returned to normal after a configuration change recommended to network operators.<\/p>\n

The disruption coincided with a separate setback for a protocol amendment designed to correct vulnerabilities affecting token permissions, lending and other financial applications. Its activation has been pushed to November after validator support briefly weakened.<\/p>\n

The developments come as XRPL expands its role in institutional payments<\/a>, stablecoins and tokenized assets, increasing the importance of reliable settlement infrastructure and safeguards governing financial transactions.<\/p>\n

XRP Ledger slowdown exposes transaction-processing challenges<\/h2>\n

The operational problem emerged on Oct. 21 when some ledgers began taking longer than usual to close, disrupting the blockchain's typical three-to-five-second settlement rhythm.<\/p>\n

XRPL Operations said<\/a> most ledgers continued closing normally, but intermittent delays prompted developers to investigate the network's behavior and prepare a software correction.<\/p>\n

As the delays persisted, the team distributed a recommended xrpld<\/code> configuration change to hub, validator, and node operators.<\/p>\n

The adjustment restored normal closing times by Oct. 22, according to the operations team, although developers continued testing a point release intended to address the underlying cause.<\/p>\n

David Schwartz<\/a>, one of XRPL's original architects<\/a> and Ripple's<\/a> former chief technology officer, offered additional insight into what may have contributed to the incident.<\/p>\n

He said his own hub had continued operating normally after an earlier incident he believed was unrelated, but he restarted it with the recommended configuration change.<\/p>\n

Schwartz said:<\/p>\n

“I gather the issue was related to servers trying too hard to get too many transactions into each ledger.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Asked whether that suggested XRPL had encountered a practical limit on its transaction-processing capacity, Schwartz acknowledged a connection between transaction volume and closing frequency.<\/p>\n

He added:<\/p>\n

“Yes and no. We can't close a ledger more often than every 4 seconds. So limiting the number of transactions per ledger does not necessarily impose a TPS limit.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His remarks point to a potential trade-off between processing more transactions in each ledger and maintaining consistent settlement times.<\/p>\n

However, developers have not established whether the incident reflected a broader network capacity constraint or a software behavior that can be corrected without affecting throughput.<\/p>\n

The distinction carries commercial implications, as XRPL attracts applications<\/a> that require predictable settlement, including RLUSD stablecoin transfers<\/a>, tokenized securities, and institutional payment services.<\/p>\n\n

Further disruption could complicate transaction processing for services that depend on rapid movement of funds or collateral.<\/p>\n

The forthcoming software release will therefore be important in determining whether the configuration change provides a lasting solution or whether additional adjustments are needed to maintain performance under heavier transaction loads.<\/p>\n

Validator voting setback delays financial safeguards<\/h2>\n

Separately, XRPL's fixCleanup3_4_0<\/code> amendment has encountered a governance setback that will prolong the activation of several corrections to its financial infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The amendment, introduced in September's xrpld 3.4.0 release<\/a>, addresses technical issues involving token permissions, automated market makers, asset vaults, lending operations and escrow transactions.<\/p>\n

Among the changes is a fix for a permission-delegation flaw that could let an account authorized to destroy certain fungible tokens create additional tokens under specific circumstances.<\/p>\n

The network's documentation<\/a> advises issuers against delegating the affected PaymentBurn<\/code> permission until the correction becomes active.<\/p>\n

Other changes improve precision in vault accounting, enforce token-balance safeguards and correct transaction-handling behavior across decentralized trading and lending functions.<\/p>\n

The proposed protections had been moving toward an Oct. 23 activation before validator backing briefly fell below the supermajority required to change XRPL's protocol rules.<\/p>\n

XRPL requires support from more than 80% of trusted validators to remain uninterrupted for 14 days before an amendment can activate.<\/p>\n

The temporary loss of support on Oct. 21 erased the amendment's accumulated approval period, despite backing subsequently recovering above the required threshold.<\/p>\n

The XRPLWin amendment tracker<\/a> now places the earliest activation on Nov. 4, provided the renewed majority remains intact.<\/p>\n

XRPL contributor Vet confirmed<\/a> that additional validator votes had restored the amendment's activation countdown. He also clarified that fixCleanup3_4_0<\/code> addresses older protocol issues and is unrelated to the latest ledger-closing delays.<\/p>\n

The postponement extends the period before the affected token-permission safeguards become enforceable. It also delays corrections intended to improve accounting and transaction handling in XRPL's developing lending infrastructure.<\/p>\n

That infrastructure still needs additional protocol approvals before native lending services can go live.<\/p>\n

A further decline in validator support would reset the amendment's waiting period again, potentially pushing activation beyond Nov. 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
