XRP Ledger upgrade brings back features once pulled over critical bugs

The xrpld 3.3.0 release is expected next week with five proposed amendments, including two revised features that were previously withdrawn after researchers found bugs that could have allowed unauthorized transactions or fee draining.

The XRP Ledger's next software release will put five new features in front of validators, two of which were pulled from the network after security researchers found flaws serious enough to warrant emergency action.

Jazzi Cooper, head of product at RippleX, said Friday that xrpld 3.3.0 is expected next week carrying Confidential MPT, Batch, Permission Delegation, Sponsored Fees and Reserves, and Dynamic MPT.

XRPL has already proven it can support tokenized assets at scale. Now it’s time to put these assets to use: global transfers, trading, collateralizing, and settling.

The upcoming release of xrpld 3.3.0 includes five amendments that move XRPL significantly closer to that goal.…

Amendments are proposed protocol changes that only take effect once at least 80% of trusted validators back them for two consecutive weeks, a threshold designed so the network rather than Ripple decides what ships.

The Batch and Permission Delegation amendments have been through that process before and failed it.

Batch, which lets up to eight transactions across different accounts execute together so that either all succeed or none do, reached its voting phase in February.

Security researcher Pranamya Keshkamat and the firm Cantina had then found a flaw in how the amendment validated signatures that would have let an attacker execute transactions from any account without holding its keys.
