The XRP Ledger is approaching another network upgrade as the fixCleanup3_2_0 amendment moves through its activation process.
If it secures the required validator approval, the upgrade will unlock Permission Delegation, a feature designed to improve account security and support institutional treasury operations without giving up control of primary wallets.

Validator Support Moves Past the Activation Threshold
The amendment requires support from at least 80% of validators on the default Unique Node List (UNL) for two consecutive weeks before it can be activated. If support falls below that level during the period, the countdown starts over.
Recent network data shows that around 89% of default UNL validators have upgraded to XRPL v3.2.0, placing the amendment above the required threshold.
However, software adoption and amendment voting are separate processes, meaning validators must still maintain the required approval level until the activation period is complete.
The fixCleanup3_2_0 package also includes updates for several major XRP Ledger features, including the Permissioned DEX, Permissioned Domains, Single-Asset Vaults, the Lending Protocol, and Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPTs), alongside security and maintenance improvements.
Permission Delegation Brings Role-Based Account Control
Permission Delegation introduces role-based access control (RBAC) to the XRP Ledger.
Instead of sharing full wallet access, account owners can assign specific permissions to another account while keeping ownership and sensitive account functions under the control of the primary wallet.
According to Vet, an XRP Ledger validator and Director of Community at the XRP Ledger Foundation, the feature was built to address compliance and treasury management requirements for institutions.
It allows organisations to keep their master keys in cold storage while delegating operational tasks to designated accounts, reducing the need to expose high-value credentials online.
The feature is expected to benefit enterprises that rely on automated payment systems or multiple employees to manage blockchain operations, as permissions can be limited to predefined transaction types instead of granting unrestricted access.
Permission Delegation was originally introduced under the XLS-75d proposal, but was disabled before mainnet activation after developers identified a vulnerability that could have allowed transaction fees to be charged to another account.
The issue was resolved through a redesigned implementation that is now scheduled to launch alongside fixCleanup3_2_0.
Once the amendment is activated, validators that have not upgraded risk becoming amendment-blocked, preventing them from participating normally on the network until they update.
The activation would mark another step in expanding the XRP Ledger’s enterprise-focused infrastructure while strengthening account security for institutional users.
