RippleX has unveiled the release of rippled version 2.4.0, a major update to the XRP Ledger protocol, introducing a variety of enhancements designed to increase the ledger’s performance.
This latest update includes critical bug fixes, new features, and several amendments that focus on improving both security and compliance.
Among the key changes, five major amendments are being implemented. One significant feature is the DynamicNFT amendment (XLS-46), which allows for minting tokens with changeable URIs. Additionally, the PermissionedDomains amendment (XLS-80) introduces restricted access to certain domains, supporting compliance measures.
Other amendments provide improvements like freezing trust lines (DeepFreeze – XLS-77) and stricter transaction validation (fixInvalidTxFlags), ensuring greater security and control over asset transfers.
The new version also adds useful features such as a simulation API for transaction testing, updates to asset definitions in transactions, and improvements to logging and validation checks.
Another important upgrade is enhanced security for the Unique Node List (UNL), which now requires validators to meet stricter criteria for updates, improving overall network integrity. A variety of bug fixes, including build compatibility with different operating systems, are also part of this release.
The community will now vote on these amendments, and if they receive sufficient support from validators, they will be fully integrated into the network.
