XRP Ledger Delays Amendment Rollout Amid Batch Transaction Bug

Vet, an $XRP Ledger validator, informed the $XRP community that a bug was found in the batch transaction and another fix amendment for the $XRP Ledger, causing a setback for both. This fix amendment is the fixbatchinnersigs amendment included in the latest xrpl v. 3.1.0 release.

Earlier, Vet had informed followers that the batch transaction amendment had only one more vote to go for it to enter majority. At the time that Vet reported that, the Batch amendment on $XRP had secured 28 "yes" votes, one "yes" vote away from activation.

Now, with the bug detected, Vet noted that validators are shifting their stance, changing their votes to "nay."

Vet clarifies that the XRPL mainnet remains unaffected, as both amendments — including the batch transaction — did not go live. He added that the next $XRP software update will include a new bug-fixed Batch amendment for voting.

The bug detection comes as $XRP Ledger participants tested the feature, in line with Ripple Engineer Mayukha Vadari's advice.

As reported, Vadari urged $XRP Ledger users that if there is an upcoming amendment they need for their project, they should review the XLS specification and make sure it works for them. This is to prevent issues that might be too late to correct as, the earlier an issue is found, the easier it is to address.

Batch transaction and "fixbatchinnersigs" amendment

The proposed batch transactions feature allows atomic execution of multiple transactions and will make it even easier for developers to build apps that can generate revenue directly on-chain.

This long-sought-after amendment from the broader community makes it much easier to offer paid features, automate flows and build apps that generate revenue.

The fixbatchinnersigs amendment fixes an issue where the inner transactions of a batch transaction would be flagged as having valid signatures.

In recent news, SBI Ripple Asia has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on a technical support partnership with Asia Web3 Alliance Japan.
