The XRP Ledger is counting down to a major payments upgrade, with Batch V1.1 now in its two-week activation window and about nine days left for it to arrive on the mainnet.

Batch V1.1 is a replacement amendment that ships the corrected Batch implementation in xrpld v3.3.0 and achieved majority (above 80% support) on September 15.

The XRP Ledger’s amendment system uses a consensus process to approve changes that affect transaction processing. If an amendment gets over 80% support for two weeks, it passes and the change applies permanently to all subsequent ledger versions.

Batch (XLS-56) allows multiple XRPL transactions from multiple accounts to be executed atomically in a single ledger close. If an inner transaction fails in the all-or-nothing mode of the feature, the entire batch is rolled back. This simplifies a variety of atomic activities and serves as the foundation for multi-party coordination on the XRPL, including atomic swaps, coordinated settlements, and any workflow in which two or more parties must proceed in lockstep without relying on trust.
