XRP Ledger to activate security upgrade as lending protocol vote lags

The XRP Ledger (XRPL), a decentralized blockchain platform specializing in digital payment protocols, is preparing for a major security upgrade. On November 4, XRPL’s fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment is expected to activate, gaining support from 33 out of 35 trusted network validators. If this supermajority persists over the mandated two-week period, the amendment will go live at approximately 14:46 UTC. Recent network data shows that the amendment has reached 94.3% validator approval through XRPL’s official amendment tracker. This strong backing follows a previous delay when validator participation temporarily declined below 80% on October 21, triggering a reset in the consensus countdown. The cleanup amendment introduces technical fixes that affect several elements of network functionality, including token permissions, automated market makers, escrow transaction processes, and enhancements to infrastructure supporting future lending services.
