TL;DR:
- Technical release: The XRP Ledger Operations team released software version xrpld 3.4.1 on September 25, 2026.
- Asset integrity: The mainnet reported no operational disruptions or capital losses among protocol users.
- New amendment: Technical proposal fixBatchV1_2 entered its formal activation window alongside the Batch feature, with a projected two-week timeline.
Starting this Friday, September 25, the deployment of the xrpld 3.4.1 update begins for XRP Ledger servers and nodes. The technical rollout includes a dedicated patch for batch transaction functionality alongside operational stability improvements.
xrpld 3.4.1 is being released with a Batch fix and stability improvements.

XRP Ledger Operations reported that the detected anomaly caused no impact on the mainnet and did not compromise the balances of registered accounts. The organization requested infrastructure operators to update their systems promptly to ensure synchronization within the consensus mechanism.
This release arrives eight days after the launch of version 3.4.0, introduced on September 17, 2026. That iteration introduced core architectural modifications and paved the way for key extensions within the asset custody framework.
Technical Fix for Batch Transactions and Amendment Status
Alongside the software package, developers integrated the fixBatchV1_2 amendment, enabled by default for validators. The protocol’s technical documentation describes that this change resolves a minor bug within the batch processing mechanism without introducing direct vulnerabilities to participant balances.
Code maintainers confirmed that comprehensive details regarding the issue will remain confidential until the amendment completes its on-chain integration. A full report will be disclosed once the code achieves the consensus required by ledger rules.
The batch processing feature enables grouping multiple transactions under a single execution structure. This functionality is governed by the BatchV1_1 amendment of the XLS-56 standard, which replaced an earlier iteration after a critical flaw was identified in cryptographic signature validation prior to mainnet deployment.
Previous market reports indicated that the BatchV1_1 version was slated to take effect on September 29, 2026. However, updated organization records indicate that both this amendment and the new fixBatchV1_2 are running concurrently in a voting cycle expected to span approximately two weeks.
The previous release, xrpld 3.4.0, incorporated the LendingProtocolV1_1 amendment, designed to enable single-asset vaults within the lending protocol. This framework structures the financial cycle across three consecutive stages: subscription, investment, and asset liquidation.
Under this cash-based accounting model, interest recognition occurs strictly upon receipt of payment rather than loan origination. Furthermore, version 3.4.0 integrated the fixCleanup3_4_0 corrective suite, which refined freezing guidelines, compliance credentials, and reserve rules for offers tied to multi-purpose tokens and automated market makers.
On the transaction front, public monitoring dashboard records indicated that ledger agent-based payments totaled 4,023,081 cumulative transactions as of September 5, 2026. These transfers settled 5,753.43 units of XRP and 3,789.44 units of the RLUSD stablecoin across 148 registered merchants.
The governance process will keep the validator voting phase open for fixBatchV1_2 and BatchV1_1 until early October 2026, when their final mainnet activation is expected to be confirmed.
