XRP Ledger reintroduces Batch and Permission Delegation in xrpld 3.3.0 prerelease

Ankr has launched public XRP Ledger RPC access for mainnet and testnet, adding 43 methods and two-week transaction history retention as validator voting continues on proposed network amendments.

Fact Check
The claim is directly confirmed by the primary source, the X post from RippleX's Jazzi Cooper (@jazzicoop) dated 2026-07-31, which announces xrpld 3.3.0 with exactly five amendments (Confidential MPT, Batch, Permission Delegation, Sponsored Fees and Reserves, Dynamic MPT), states the release is anticipated next week, and confirms activation is subject to validator approval, aimed at institutional use. These features cover privacy (Confidential MPT), atomic settlement (Batch/DvP), and fee-sponsorship (Sponsored Fees and Reserves), matching the claim precisely. The RippleX open-source site corroborates the existence of these amendments, and CoinGape and U.Today independently report the same details.
Summary

The XRP Ledger ecosystem has added new public infrastructure through Ankr, which said it is deploying a public RPC service for XRP Ledger mainnet and testnet that lets developers and institutions read and write blockchain data without running their own nodes. The service uses globally distributed enterprise-standard full nodes and offers 43 methods spanning account queries, ledger state reads, transaction submission and simulation, payment pathfinding, AMM and order book lookups, oracle price access, payment channel claims, and server data such as fees, amendments, validator information, and node health. The rollout builds on previously reported public node access and adds more detail on how the service works. Ankr said its XRP Ledger nodes are full nodes rather than complete historical archives, retaining only the last two weeks of on-chain transaction history, while full transaction archive support remains on its development roadmap. The infrastructure is aimed at wallet integrations, on-chain verification, microtransactions, cross-border payments, and decentralized finance applications. The expansion comes as RippleX prepares xrpld v3.3.0 for release, subject to validator approval of five proposed amendments: Confidential MPT, Batch, Permission Delegation, Sponsored Fees and Reserves, and Dynamic MPT. Batch would allow up to eight transactions across different accounts to execute atomically, while Permission Delegation would let institutions grant narrowly scoped transaction permissions without handing over full signing authority. Both are revised versions of earlier amendments that validators halted before activation after security flaws were found. The infrastructure launch also coincides with preparations for additional financial tooling on XRP Ledger. Ecosystem documentation indicates a native lending and borrowing protocol is projected for mainnet and is currently in the amendment voting phase, with pooled funds in single-asset vaults intended to support fixed-term loans directly on-chain. That would broaden DeFi functionality on a network long associated with institutional cross-border payments.

Terms & Concepts
  • RPC: Remote procedure call infrastructure that lets applications communicate with blockchain nodes to query data or submit transactions.
  • AMM: An automated market maker, a system that uses pooled assets to enable trading without a traditional order-matching exchange.
  • Permission Delegation: A proposed XRP Ledger feature that would allow limited transaction permissions to be granted without transferring full signing control.
