The XRP Ledger, an XRP-based network, has entered its next phase as it prepares for a new software update. U.Today reported on May 23 (local time) that XRPL 3.2.0, a new version of the XRP Ledger, is under development, and this update aims to strengthen network-based security.

Hussein Zangana, Community Director at the XRP Ledger Foundation, who operates under the name Vet on X (formerly Twitter), announced the release of new XRPL software. As a dual validator for the XRP Ledger, he stated, “A new XRP Ledger version 3.2.0 is under development,” and “this update aims to further strengthen the foundation upon which XRP is built.”

Zangana evaluated that AI-powered red teams, blue teams, attackathons, and bug bounties have yielded strong results. He also mentioned the name change from rippled to xrpld as a major development. This statement highlights that the XRP Ledger is prioritizing codebase inspection and strengthening its security system over simple feature expansion.

The recently released XRPL 3.1.3 has entered a two-week activation period, with an estimated activation date of May 27, 2026, according to XRPScan data. rippled version 3.1.3 includes one fixCleanup3_1_3 amendment, as well as modifications related to NFTs, Permissioned Domains, Vaults, and Lending Protocol.

Ripple announced in March that it had revamped the XRP Ledger's security system and unveiled security initiatives with artificial intelligence at their core. A dedicated AI-powered red team continuously analyzes the XRPL codebase, focusing on examining how functions interact in a real operating environment, rather than looking at individual features in isolation.

The XRP Ledger has been operating continuously since 2012, processing over 100 million ledgers and more than 3 billion transactions. Given the codebase accumulated over more than a decade and design decisions based on the initial network scale, recent XRPL releases have focused on bug fixes and improvements rather than adding new features.

The XRP Ledger recently rose from the top 10 to 4th place on the RWA_xyz leaderboard in less than a year. MPT DEX integration is also slated for introduction to XRPL. The MPTVersion2 amendment, XLS-82, extends multi-purpose token support to the XRP Ledger's decentralized exchange, enabling MPT assets to natively participate in automated market maker pools, order book proposals, cross-currency settlements, and check-based transfers.
