XRP Ledger Activates fixCleanup3_1_3; Nodes Urged to Upgrade
XRP Ledger activated the fixCleanup3_1_3 amendment on May 27, 2026; node operators were urged to upgrade to rippled 3.1.3 or face amendment-blocking and disconnection as XRP traded near $1.35.
On May 27, 2026, the XRP Ledger activated the fixCleanup3_1_3 amendment. The change was included in rippled version 3.1.3. Operators of validator and full nodes were told to install the update or risk being disconnected from the network. At the time of activation, XRP traded near $1.35.
The release contains maintenance fixes that remove accumulated data and correct errors across multiple protocol modules. The update addresses expired NFT offers, adds security invariants for permissioned domains, improves withdrawal handling for Vaults and Single Asset Vaults, and corrects trust line limits within the Lending Protocol.
fixCleanup3_1_3 is a default-yes amendment, so running rippled 3.1.3 registers the change without a separate vote. Nodes that do not install the update before the deadline will become amendment-blocked, losing the ability to participate in consensus, process transactions or communicate with the rest of the ledger.
The XRP Ledger Foundation and core developers issued repeated warnings ahead of activation after network metrics showed 40% to 46% of nodes had applied the update by mid-May. The foundation noted it would publish a detailed blog post once the amendment went live.
Network data show about 1.76 million transactions over the previous 24 hours, including nearly one million payments and more than 18,000 active accounts. Average ledger close times remained under four seconds. Decentralized exchange activity included tens of thousands of automated market maker pools and the XRP/RLUSD pair among the most active.
Market figures at the time of the upgrade put XRP’s market capitalization just above $83 billion, a 24-hour decline near 0.4%, and daily trading volume above $1.2 billion. Analysts noted the amendment’s maintenance focus when explaining the limited price response.
Retail holders do not need to take action: wallets do not require reconnection, transactions do not need to be re-signed, and tokens do not require migration. Developers reiterated that operators who run rippled should apply version 3.1.3 to avoid service interruptions.
“Please upgrade your nodes as soon as possible,” the XRP Ledger Foundation tweeted, adding that a detailed blog post would follow.
