XRPL Upgrade v3.2.0 Enhances Stability and Scalability
- David Schwartz, Ripple CTO Emeritus, confirmed the XRPL hub was offline for an upgrade to v3.2.0 for nearly 18 minutes.
- Performance metrics showed strong stability with only one incident of peer disconnections linked to a nearby network outage.
- The upgrade includes renaming the core server from rippled to xrpld, affecting service names and configuration files.
- 14% of XRPL nodes have updated to version v3.2.0, which reduces memory usage by up to 40% and lowers operational costs.
- Validators must follow a structured migration guide and back up key files before removing the old rippled package.
The successful upgrade aims to enhance the DeFi capabilities of the XRP Ledger while improving overall network efficiency and security amid growing tokenization efforts.
With a significant portion of nodes already upgraded, this transition is crucial for supporting increased scalability in payments and tokenization initiatives.(Source)
