- This upgrade could facilitate delivery-versus-payment transactions, enabling exchanges, wallets, and marketplaces to process service fees in conjunction with customer payments.
- Batch V1.1 is set to be activated shortly after September 29, contingent on validator support remaining above 80 percent, following a redesign and thorough security review initiated by a significant flaw in the original version.
Ripple has announced that asset managers and various commercial projects are preparing to implement a new feature within the XRP Ledger that enables multiple linked transactions to settle simultaneously as the redesigned upgrade nears activation after a comprehensive security review.
The feature, known as Batch V1.1, allows for the combination of up to eight transactions into a single operation. Its all-or-nothing mechanism guarantees that if one transaction fails, all are canceled, preventing situations where one party completes a transaction while the other does not.
“We’ll be sharing more once the feature is live, including work with key asset managers,” stated Ayo Akinyele, head of engineering at RippleX, in comments provided to CoinDesk.
“Batch allows multiple transactions to be grouped together so they either all execute or none do,” Akinyele explained. “This is particularly crucial for scenarios like delivery-versus-payment, where both the asset and payment must move simultaneously.”
Delivery-versus-payment refers to linking the transfer of an asset to its payment. Instead of relying on one party to proceed first, the ledger ensures that both transfers occur together or not at all.
Additionally, Batch could allow exchanges, wallets, and marketplaces to charge service fees directly alongside customer transactions, streamlining the process by combining these operations instead of handling them separately.
“Some projects are already being developed with Batch in mind, so activation would facilitate their progression toward production,” Akinyele remarked. “We’ll provide more details on specific partners and launch timelines as these plans become finalized.”
The amendment has garnered support from 30 of the XRP Ledger’s 35 tracked validators, surpassing the 28 votes required to initiate its activation countdown.
Feature Arrives After Previous Flaws Addressed
The countdown began on September 15 at 14:06:41 UTC. Batch V1.1 is expected to activate shortly after the same time on September 29, provided that support remains at or above 80% throughout the entire 14-day window. Validators have the ability to change their votes, making the schedule conditional.
The impending activation follows a security issue that led developers to retract the original version.
In February, researchers identified a critical flaw in Batch V1.0’s signature-validation process. Under specific circumstances, the code could prematurely halt signature checks, enabling an attacker to execute transactions from another account without the owner’s consent.

At the time, the amendment was still under consideration by validators and had not been activated, meaning the vulnerable code never governed the live ledger, and no funds were at risk.
RippleX did not merely fix the singular issue before presenting the feature for another vote, Akinyele noted.
“We seized the opportunity to delve much deeper into the implementation, redesigning aspects of the signing and authorization model, and significantly enhancing the security review,” he stated.
The revised version was included in xrpld version 3.3.0, which was released on August 6. This implementation is the same code that validators are currently voting to activate, according to Akinyele.
The review process involved internal adversarial testing, AI-assisted analysis, a Sherlock attack contest, and evaluations by security firms Halborn and Common Prefix.
“The essential point is that we set a very high standard,” Akinyele added. “We identified a significant issue in V1.0 before activation, halted its progress, redesigned and strengthened the implementation, broadened the review significantly, and only then reintroduced V1.1 to validators.”
The amendment will continue its countdown until September 29. If validator support dips below 80% before that date, the countdown will stop, and a new 14-day window will need to commence once the proposal regains the necessary majority.
