XRP Ledger Bug Fix Moved to November After Validator Support Dipped for Two Hours

Validator support briefly fell below the required supermajority, resetting the countdown for the fixCleanup3_4_0 amendment and delaying activation until Nov. 4, trackers said.

  • A two-hour dip in validator support pushed the XRP Ledger's latest bug fix back to November 4, as the update requires 14 days of sustained majority approval to activate.
  • Changing network rules requires backing from more than 80% of 35 trusted validators, equaling 29 votes; support briefly fell to 26 on Wednesday, causing the mandatory countdown to reset.
  • Support has since climbed to 31 of 35 validators, providing two votes of buffer and moving the projected activation to 14:46 UTC on November 4, according to XRPL Dashboard.
  • Investors are monitoring the ledger's technical milestone while XRP price dropped 2% over 24 hours, as over $220 million in crypto long positions were liquidated, pressuring the token near $1.30.
  • This patch closes a loophole allowing accounts to create tokens under specific conditions, according to release notes, while Ripple's lending system will be updated to determine when loans are in default.
