The XRP Ledger is preparing for a significant upgrade with the FixCleanup3_2_0 amendment set for mainnet activation in less than two weeks. A consensus of 85.71% was reached for this amendment, with 30 validators voting in favor, triggering the start of a two-week activation period.
Details of the FixCleanup3_2_0 Upgrade
The FixCleanup3_2_0 amendment introduces a range of technical improvements to the XRP Ledger protocol. These adjustments address issues related to Single Asset Vaults, the Lending Protocol, the permissioned decentralized exchange (DEX), Multi-Purpose Tokens, and permissioned domains. Precision and rounding fixes have been integrated for Single Asset Vaults and the Lending Protocol to enhance reliability in these services.
A correction was added to resolve an issue with the ‘ValidPermissionedDEX’ invariant, which previously activated during the deletion of a valid offer. The upgrade also introduces validation checks for non-canonical Multi-Purpose Token amounts and implements a zero DomainID check to strengthen permissioned domain security.
One major feature of this upgrade is the addition of the invariant AccountRootsDeletedClean, ensuring no directly accessible artifacts remain when an account is deleted. This amendment is part of Version 3.2.0 of xrpld, the reference implementation server for the XRP Ledger protocol. This version was released in mid-June, targeting improved network stability and reducing operational risks for institutions and users.

Mainnet Upgrade Timeline
Based on data from XRPScan, the FixCleanup3_2_0 upgrade is scheduled for activation on July 29, 2026, at 09:57:00 AM UTC. The timeline reflects the amendment’s standard two-week consensus period after majority approval.
