More than three weeks after the release of the XRP Ledger’s latest software update, adoption continues to increase, but most network nodes are still running an older version of the software.
According to XRPScan, only 357 of the network’s 828 nodes, representing about 43%, have upgraded to version 3.2.0. Meanwhile, 426 nodes, or roughly 51%, continue to operate on version 3.1.3.
New Update Brings Performance and Security Improvements
Version 3.2.0 introduces several notable enhancements to the XRP Ledger infrastructure. One of the most visible changes is the renaming of the network’s core server software from rippled to xrpld.
The release also delivers performance improvements aimed at institutional users by lowering operational costs and reducing memory consumption across nodes by an estimated 30% to 40%.
In addition, the update strengthens network security, improves the developer experience, and enhances overall efficiency. These improvements build on the maintenance update released in late May, which introduced bug fixes and upgrades for permissioned domains and vault functionality in version 3.1.3.
Validator Adoption Nears Activation Threshold
Although a majority of nodes have not yet migrated to the latest release, adoption among validators has progressed much further.
Approximately 61% of XRPL validators operating on rippled based software have already upgraded to version 3.2.0. More importantly, 89% of the network’s Unique Node List, the trusted group of validators responsible for reaching consensus, is now running the new software.
The XRP Ledger requires at least 80% of Unique Node List validators to support a software version before network upgrades can be activated. With 31 of the 35 trusted validators already using version 3.2.0, the required threshold has been exceeded, meaning the network now considers the update sufficiently adopted. Remaining nodes are expected to upgrade over time.
Security Amendment Still Awaiting Approval
While the software rollout continues, the network is also voting on an amendment known as fixCleanup3_2_0, which includes several security and maintenance improvements tied to the latest release.
The amendment has not yet received enough support to be activated. It requires approval from at least 28 of the 35 Unique Node List validators, but only 17 have voted in favor so far, representing approximately 48.6% of the trusted validator set.
If approved, the amendment will introduce fixes affecting single asset vaults, the lending protocol, multipurpose tokens, permissioned domains, and permissioned decentralized exchanges.#crypto#cryptonews https://coinsignals.net https://t.me/coinsignalpublic
