XRP Ledger Set For Major Fix Upgrade With Five Days Left

Amendment Clears Threshold With Days to Go

The XRP Ledger is approaching a significant protocol upgrade. The fixCleanup3_3_0 amendment holds 82.86% validator support, with 29 of 35 validators casting yes votes, and is on track to activate on the mainnet on September 11 if that backing holds through the final days of the voting window.

The amendment entered voting on August 6 and first crossed the 80% support mark on August 28, triggering the two-week activation countdown. That countdown now has five days left to run.

Activation is not guaranteed. If support slips to 80% or below at any point, the amendment is rejected and the 14-day window resets from scratch. September 11 is the earliest possible date, not a fixed deadline.

What the Upgrade Actually Changes

The fixCleanup3_3_0 amendment is a bundled collection of 11 fixes spanning Single Asset Vaults, the Lending Protocol, Automated Market Makers, the permissioned DEX, Checks and pseudo-accounts. Rather than introducing a new headline feature, the upgrade focuses on hardening existing functionality across several interconnected components.

Among the changes, freeze and deep-freeze checks are unified for transfers involving pseudo-accounts across multiple vault, AMM and lending transactions. The upgrade also addresses order-book edge cases: hybrid offers will no longer be removed from the open order book when the account that placed them loses access to a permissioned domain, and AMM liquidity will factor into quality estimates for permissioned DEX order books. Additional precision and rounding fixes apply to Single Asset Vaults and the Lending Protocol.

The amendment follows two earlier fix upgrades, fixCleanup3_1_3 and fixCleanup3_2_0, which activated on the XRPL mainnet in May and July respectively. The pattern reflects a steady maintenance cadence on the ledger's newer feature set, with each software release shipping a bundle of corrections that validators then vote through on their own schedule.

Under the XRP Ledger's amendment system, protocol changes are written into server software in a disabled state and stay disabled until validators vote them on. Once an amendment holds above 80% support for a continuous two-week period, it activates automatically and applies permanently to all subsequent ledger versions, with no hard fork or manual coordination required.
