As a seasoned researcher who has closely followed the evolution of blockchain technology and its various implementations, I must admit that the latest XRP Ledger update is a noteworthy development. Having witnessed numerous updates across various blockchains, I can say with confidence that the stability and reliability improvements brought about by this release are commendable.


The XRP platform has just rolled out a major software upgrade, introducing XRP Ledger version 2.2.1. As announced on Twitter by RippleX, the updated version (2.2.1) of rippled – the core server implementation for the XRP Ledger’s protocol – is now accessible.

As a long-time member of the XRP community, I am thrilled to see this latest update as it represents a significant milestone in our collective journey. The advancements and fixes it brings will undoubtedly improve the functionality and efficiency of the network, making it a more reliable tool for us all. With my years of experience in this field, I have seen firsthand the transformative power of such updates, and I am confident that this one will not disappoint. It’s an exciting time to be part of the XRP community!

As a seasoned developer who has worked extensively with blockchain technology, I am excited to share that a new release for rippled 2.2.1 is now available! Over the years, I’ve learned the importance of keeping software updated, especially when it comes to maintaining the stability and security of my projects.

In the 2.2.1 update, we’ve addressed a specific issue that cropped up in the previous version, 2.2.0. This problem affected how certain kinds of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) requests were managed.

To keep the XRP Ledger functioning smoothly and dependably, this essential update preserves its stability and trustworthiness. Users can confidently carry out transactions and leverage the network without interruption, as no fresh amendments are included in this particular release.

Five amendments now up for voting

In the latest update (version 2.2.0) of the XRP Ledger, five proposed changes, or amendments, are now up for a vote. According to the XRP Ledger’s amendment process, these protocol modifications can proceed once they have received more than 80% support from reliable validators after a two-week period.

RippleX encourages operators of servers to update to the latest version to enjoy the benefits of the upgrade. Particularly for those employing an XRP Ledger server that is outdated past version 2.2.0, it’s strongly recommended to update to version 2.2.1 by August 14, 2024, to facilitate smooth operation.

In simpler terms, the exact moment when a protocol update becomes active depends on the voting results within the decentralized network.

In collaboration reminiscent of previous Ripple releases, Ripple is teaming up with Fenasbac Next, Brazil’s leading accelerator program, to speed up the development of blockchain technology. The focus is particularly on projects aimed at enhancing the XRP Ledger in areas like treasury management, asset tokenization, payments, and loans.
