XRP Ledger adds new controls for banks, stablecoins and tokenized funds
The upgrade lets account owners assign up to 10 revocable permissions, while officials warn not to use PaymentBurn until a separate fix gains support.
- On Thursday, The XRP Ledger enabled a new feature allowing account owners to delegate specific tasks to other accounts without sharing primary keys.
- Businesses often separate payment and compliance duties, yet keeping keys on connected computers creates security risks; Delegation allows authorized helpers to perform specific actions—up to 10 permissions each—without possessing master keys.
- The XRP Ledger amendments page warns against delegating the PaymentBurn granular permission until a separate fix activates, as using it could allow a delegate to create new tokens.
- With 27 of 35 validator votes on Friday, the fix for PaymentBurn needs 29 to start the 14-day countdown required for activation; two Batch-related amendments may activate later today.
- Developers are reviewing a bug where some servers drop validators from count totals after key rotations; a proposed patch on GitHub would track validators by permanent ID to ensure accurate vote measurement.
