XRP Ledger to activate security upgrade as lending protocol vote lags

The XRP Ledger (XRPL), a decentralized blockchain platform specializing in digital payment protocols, is preparing for a major security upgrade. On November 4, XRPL’s fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment is expected to activate, gaining support from 33 out of 35 trusted network validators. If this supermajority persists over the mandated two-week period, the amendment will go live at approximately 14:46 UTC. Recent network data shows that the amendment has reached 94.3% validator approval through XRPL’s official amendment tracker. This strong backing follows a previous delay when validator participation temporarily declined below 80% on October 21, triggering a reset in the consensus countdown.
