The XRP Ledger is set to activate PermissionDelegationV1_1 on Oct. 8, 2026, after 29 of 35 validators approved the amendment. The upgrade allows an account to delegate narrowly defined transaction rights to another account without giving up control of its master key. It is designed to provide role-based access control for institutional users alongside multi-signing, which requires multiple authorized signatures. Delegated accounts can make payments, approve customers or perform other specified tasks, while the primary account retains the ability to modify or revoke permissions. Each delegated account can receive up to 10 permissions. The activation date follows an earlier target of Oct. 5, when validator support briefly fell below the required threshold and reset the countdown. XRPL amendments must maintain more than 80% validator support for two consecutive weeks. PermissionDelegationV1_1 replaces an earlier version withdrawn after researchers identified a flaw that could have allowed malicious transactions to charge unauthorized fees before signature validation. The revised implementation changes rejection handling so fees cannot be deducted before signatures are properly checked. The upgrade forms part of the XRP Ledger's broader institutional-controls strategy, which includes permissioned domains and a permissioned DEX, while developers are also exploring KYC-only liquidity pools for banks.
