RippleX to release xrpld 3.3.0 with Batch and Permission Delegation amendments

RippleX plans to release the next version of the XRP Ledger core server software, xrpld 3.3.0, as early as next week. This release will reintegrate the rewritten Batch and Permission Delegation amendments into the validator process after previous authorization flaws led to their blockage before mainnet activation. Currently, xrpld 3.2.1 is the latest stable release as of August 1, while beta and release-candidate tags for 3.3.0 are public. A mainnet majority countdown has not yet begun for either amendment. Jazzi Cooper, RippleX product head, outlined five proposed features for 3.3.0: Confidential MPT, Batch, Permission Delegation, Sponsored Fees and Reserves, and Dynamic MPT, all requiring validator approval for activation. The original Batch amendment had an authorization flaw that could allow attackers to execute transactions for victim accounts without their private keys. Validators intervened to block activation, preventing any risk to funds. Permission Delegation had a different vulnerability, allowing an invalid transaction to charge fees to a victim account before failing, but this feature never activated on mainnet. The 3.3 development registry now marks BatchV1_1 and PermissionDelegationV1_1 as supported with default No votes. XRPL amendments require compatible code and over 80% support from trusted validators for two weeks to activate. As of August 1, no majority field was recorded for pending amendments, indicating no active countdown. If either amendment activates, operators must use compatible software to maintain ledger validity.
