- XRP validators must update UNL or face network disconnection soon.
- MPT amendment will simplify token management and boost XRP Ledger efficiency.
- New mXRP token promises 10% APY, expanding XRP DeFi opportunities.
XRP Ledger validators are facing a critical deadline to update their systems, or risk losing network connectivity. The XRP Ledger Foundation is transitioning from its old Unique Node List (UNL) to a new one, and validators still relying on the outdated default UNL (dUNL) need to make adjustments to their rippled configuration by September 30. After this date, nodes using the old UNL will be unable to connect to the network, with the deprecated UNL expiring completely on January 18, 2026.
According to Vet, a dUNL validator on the XRP Ledger, the migration is crucial. Validators that don’t update will experience disruptions, or their nodes may entirely lose access to the network. This update is essential to maintain connectivity, and the consequences of neglecting it could severely impact validator participation in the XRP ecosystem.

The Urgency of the Migration
Validators must act fast to ensure they can continue to access the XRPL Foundation’s trusted validators list. Without this update, validators relying on the old UNL will be disconnected, causing network instability. The deadline is rapidly approaching, and failure to comply could result in complete disconnection from the XRP Ledger, halting the node’s participation.
Additionally, validators who reference a mix of old and new lists could face further disruption. Therefore, it is vital that all XRP validators update to the new UNL to avoid unnecessary complications.
New MPT Amendment Set to Transform XRP Ledger
In another significant development, the “Multi-Purpose Tokens” (MPT) amendment on the XRP Ledger is nearing activation. The XLS-33 amendment, which is in its final days of activation period, will take effect on October 1, 2025. This update has gained majority support and aims to simplify token management, especially for common use cases like stablecoins.
MPTs will introduce a new type of fungible token that eliminates the need for complex two-way trust lines. They will also allow metadata to be stored directly on the XRP Ledger, ensuring immutability. This move will streamline token interactions and enable a more efficient ecosystem for users.
