Rippled 2. 2. 0 Brings Significant Improvements
The newly released version 2.2.0 of Rippled, the server software for the XRP Ledger, introduces a range of performance improvements, several bug fixes, and five new amendments that are now open for voting. Among those changes is the featurePriceOracle amendment that establishes a price oracle in the XRP Ledger. This addition allows the blockchain to connect to data from the real world, like the market rate in the case of a tradesmen application, making it much more efficient for applications on the blockchain.
In addition, the fixEmptyDID amendment establishes specific guidelines controlling that DIDs cannot be empty at the time of generation. If the system needs a DID that turns out to be empty, this shall return an error, ensuring the preservation of the purity of these identifiers. One of the most outstanding changes is fixXChainRewardRounding; it contrasts significantly with the old system since, currently, the reward shares are in fact rounded down a little.
Enhancements to Transaction Tracking and Market Efficiency
The fixPreviousTxnID amendment adds new fields to track all the ledger entries that did not have such fields before. These fields enable confirmation of the transactions, thus enhancing the general efficiency of the ledger. Furthermore, the fixAMMv1_1 amendment fixes problems with offers in an automated market maker (AMM). This adjustment improves operation and efficiency by avoiding low-quality offers in the order book, preventing the AMM from functioning and enhancing market effectiveness.
RippleX also encourages all the XRPL node runners to upgrade to version 2. 2. 0 promptly. This modification is critical to ripening and maintaining operational efficiency and the XRP Ledger innovation. Implementing the current version allows node operators to minimize disruptions in the service and gain from the enhancements with the release.
In conclusion, the latest version of Rippled, 2.2.0, offers substantial enhancements that will benefit the entire XRP Ledger ecosystem. Node operators are encouraged to upgrade without delay to maintain optimal performance and take advantage of the new features and amendments.
