The XRP Ledger is set to enhance its network efficiency with the implementation of the fixCleanup3_1_3 upgrade, scheduled for activation on May 27, 2026. This amendment, part of the rippled reference server version 3.1.3 released on May 8, aims to address ledger bloat by automatically deleting expired NFTokenOffer entries, thus reducing data burden and improving performance. Additionally, it resolves issues with Permissioned Domains and trust line limitations in the lending protocol. Node operators are urged to upgrade by the deadline to avoid exclusion from network consensus. As of mid-May, 40-46% of nodes had adopted the new version, with the XRPL Foundation advocating for faster upgrades. The upgrade is crucial for maintaining the XRPL's competitive edge in asset tokenization and stablecoin markets, with significant implications for DeFi developers on the platform.
