#xrpledgerpatchesxrpcreationbug XRPL Skips Standard Amendment Process to Fix Critical Supply-Cap VulnerabilityFor the first time in more than a decade, XRP Ledger developers deployed a software update that changed transaction processing rules without the usual validator amendment vote. The emergency release of xrpld 3.4.1 on September 25 closed an overflow bug that could let a single payment create new XRP out of nothing by wrapping 64-bit arithmetic when consuming hundreds of large offers. The fix was applied immediately on upgraded nodes to avoid leaving the exploit publicly visible during a multi-week voting period. More than 80% of default validators were running the patched version the same day.$XRP $MANTA $MEGA
