Ripple Rolls Out New XRPL Upgrade, but Less Than Half of Nodes Have Upgraded

Share:
Ripple’s XRPL protocol upgrade v3.2.0, deployed over three weeks ago, has been adopted by only 43% of validator nodes (357 of 828) while 51% (426 of 828) remain on v3.1.3. Slow validator adoption creates protocol upgrade and security risks, may delay DeFi and token launch benefits, and highlights coordination and adoption challenges for the network.
Over three weeks ago, the Ripple team launched a new software update for the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Although the infrastructure upgrade (v3.2.0) has been running for close to a month now, not all of the network’s validator nodes have adopted it. In fact, more than half of the nodes are still running on the old version (v3.1.3) and are yet to come on board.
Data from XRPScan shows that only 43%, accounting for 357 out of 828 nodes, have upgraded to v3.2.0. On the other hand, 51%, that is 426 of the nodes, are still running on v3.1.3.
