  • •XRP Ledger's version 3.3.0 will reintroduce two features with past security flaws.
  • •The Batch amendment could have allowed unauthorized transactions without private keys.
  • •Permission Delegation could drain accounts through repeated transaction fees.

The XRP Ledger is set to release version 3.3.0, reintroducing two previously disabled features, Batch and Permission Delegation, due to security vulnerabilities. These amendments were blocked before activation after researchers discovered flaws that could allow attackers to execute unauthorized transactions. The Batch amendment could have enabled attackers to manipulate transactions without private keys, while Permission Delegation could have drained accounts through transaction fees. RippleX's Jazzi Cooper confirmed that five amendments are proposed for the update, including new features aimed at enhancing privacy and user onboarding. The amendments require 80% support from trusted validators for activation. The current version, 3.2.1, is still in use as of August 1, 2026, with no majority support for the new amendments yet.
