Ripple says asset managers are preparing for XRPL Batch V1.1 activation

Ripple has indicated that asset managers and commercial projects are preparing to use the XRP Ledger’s Batch V1.1 amendment, which could activate on September 29 if validator support stays above the required threshold.

Validator support stays above 80%

As of September 20, 30 of the 35 trusted validators tracked by XRPLDashboard voted in favor of Batch V1.1, representing roughly 85% support. The amendment requires at least 28 votes (80%) for a continuous 14‑day period before it can activate. The current countdown began on September 15 at 14:06:41 UTC and will reach the same time on September 29 if support remains uninterrupted.

What Batch V1.1 does

Batch V1.1 allows a single transaction to package between two and eight inner transactions, enabling atomic settlement of linked asset and payment transfers. The specification defines four processing modes, including an “All or Nothing” mode that ensures the entire batch succeeds or none of it is applied. This capability is being explored for delivery‑versus‑payment (DvP) use cases, where an asset transfer and its payment can be settled together.

Development background and security fixes

The original Batch amendment was halted in February after a critical signature‑validation flaw was discovered. Developers revised the signing logic, addressed additional security issues, and incorporated the updated amendment into xrpld version 3.3.0, released on August 6. Subsequent reviews fixed further signature, authorization, and stability concerns before the amendment entered the current voting phase.

Asset manager interest

RippleX engineering lead Ayo Akinyele told CoinDesk that several asset managers are building projects around Batch V1.1, though no specific firms or launch dates have been disclosed. Potential applications include trustless multi‑account swaps, platform fees, flash‑loan structures, and bundled payments with service charges.

Next steps

If validator support remains above the 80% threshold for the full 14‑day window, Batch V1.1 is expected to activate on September 29 at approximately 14:06:41 UTC. Ripple said it will share more details about partner involvement once the feature is live.
