XRP Ledger xrpld v3.2.0 adoption tops 55% of trusted validators

XRP Ledger’s xrpld v3.2.0 release is gaining traction across the network, with XRPSCAN data showing about 43% of roughly 833 active nodes now running the software while 51% remain on version 3.1.3. Adoption is further along among the validators that matter most for activation: on the default Unique Node List of 35 validators, 31 are on v3.2.0, or about 89%, above the more than 80% support required for two straight weeks to activate a new version or amendment. The software is intended to make the network cheaper to run, more stable and better suited to institutional use. A separate on-ledger vote, fixCleanup3_2_0, is still lagging behind software adoption. The amendment bundles security fixes and improvements for Single Asset Vaults, permissioned decentralized exchanges, Multi-Purpose Tokens and the Lending Protocol, while adding checks meant to prevent deleted accounts from leaving stray ledger data. Ripple has voted in favor of the amendment, and validators that fail to upgrade before it activates risk entering an amendment-blocked state that cuts them off from the ledger.
