Ripple announces major XRP Ledger overhaul and performance upgrades for 2027

Ripple , the San Francisco-based blockchain payments company, is preparing significant technological upgrades for XRP Ledger (XRPL) set to launch in 2027, according to Viijay Khanna, Ripple’s director of engineering. The announcement came amid ongoing discussions about XRPL’s transaction speed, with some critics highlighting its 1,500 transactions per second (TPS) metric as falling short when compared to legacy financial networks such as Visa. Khanna directly addressed concerns by stating that Ripple has “big plans for performance improvements lined up for 2027.” He emphasized a strategic shift in Ripple’s approach to the commonly cited TPS metric. Rather than further boosting the transaction rate at the base layer, Ripple now aims to limit the core blockchain’s function to processing large-scale institutional movements.
