XRPL recovers from network slowdown as critical security upgrade faces two-week delay
Summary
XRPL’s intermittent ledger-closing delays returned to normal by Oct. 22 after operators applied a recommended configuration change. Developers are testing a software release to address the underlying cause, which remains unclear; David Schwartz noted a possible relationship between transaction volume and closing frequency. Separately, the fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment, which addresses issues including token permissions, vault accounting, lending and transaction handling, was delayed after validator support briefly fell below the required 80% threshold. Support has recovered, but the 14-day approval countdown restarted, making Nov. 4 the earliest possible activation. Further loss of support could delay it again.
