RippleX has recently unveiled version 2.5.0 of “rippled,” the reference implementation of the XRP Ledger, designed to support developers of the network. This new release brings a series of amendments aimed at expanding the network’s functionality and governance tooling. These amendments are now up for voting according to the XRP Ledger’s amendment process, which requires support from over 80% of trusted validators over a two-week period.

Among the seven new amendments introduced in this version are “TokenEscrow,” which allows for escrows of IOU and multi-purpose tokens, “Batch,” which enables atomic execution of grouped transactions, and “PermissionedDEX,” giving DEX operators control over participation for regulatory purposes. The AMMv1_3 amendment incorporates invariant checks for automated market makers to enhance risk management at the protocol level.

Two long-awaited fixes included in this release address issues with NFTs and expired payment channels. The EnforceNFTokenTrustlineV2 amendment ensures that NFTs can only be sent to authorized recipients, while the PayChanCancelAfter amendment prevents the creation of payment channels after their expiration date.

In addition, the update improves transaction relay logic, network I/O capacity, and multi-signature simulation accuracy, while welcoming XRPL Commons as a new Bootstrap Cluster. RippleX urges validators to upgrade to the latest version promptly to maintain service continuity.

This update arrives as the XRP Ledger continues to transform into a more versatile and compliant platform, accommodating both DeFi use cases and enterprise developers.
