Oh, the drama! XRP users on exchanges have been issued a crucial alert as the XRP Ledger 2.6.2 update gets many nodes amendment-blocked. 🚨 A twist of digital fate, indeed.
In a tweet, XRPL dunl validator Vet, the modern-day Cassandra of crypto, pointed out to users that if they experience service issues on crypto exchanges when using XRP, it’s most likely because the exchange hasn’t updated its XRP Ledger Nodes to 2.6.2 or higher. 🤯
In case you experience service issues on crypto exchanges when using XRP.
This is most likely because they haven’t updated their XRP Ledger Nodes to 2.6.2 or higher.
Let your exchange know to update, it takes 2 minutes and they are fully online again 🙏

As reported, the deadline for XRP Ledger validators to upgrade to rippled version 2.6.2 was on Dec. 18, when “fix Directory Limit” amendment was activated. How quaint. 🧠
As of early yesterday, Vet notified the XRP community that 45% of XRP nodes might get amendment-blocked because they run an old version of the XRP Ledger. A modern-day tragedy, really. 😱
Amendment-blocking represents a security feature to protect the accuracy of XRP Ledger data. When an amendment is enabled, servers running earlier versions of rippled without the amendment’s source code no longer understand the rules of the network. A delightful conundrum. 🧩
Rather than guess and misinterpret ledger data, these servers become amendment-blocked and cannot determine the validity of a ledger; submit or process transactions; participate in the consensus process; or vote on future amendments. A digital death sentence. 💀
What happened?
In a separate tweet, Vet indicated that major crypto exchange Coinbase earlier reported degraded performance processing deposits and withdrawals with the XRP Ledger network. How thrilling! 🎉
Vet noted that the time of Coinbase’s update coincided with the same time when the new fix amendment went live and blocked lower version nodes. A perfect storm of chaos. 🌪️
In this light, Vet urges XRPL users to keep their servers up to date on the software as they cannot use the network with nodes effectively if they do not update after an amendment gets passed because they will not be able to understand the new information available. A lesson in digital hygiene. 🧼
In a remarkable milestone, the first formal specification of the XRPL Payment Engine has now been published. A milestone so monumental, it’s almost as if someone actually cares about the XRP Ledger. 🧾
Coinbase system update
Coinbase crypto exchange revealed its systems update on Dec. 17. Coinbase’s system has been updated with stocks, prediction markets and millions of DEX assets from the Solana ecosystem, which are already live in the Coinbase app. A feast for the digital elite. 🍽️
Coinbase has also introduced Coinbase Tokenize, an end-to-end platform for institutions to bring assets on-chain. Next year, the crypto exchange said it would be launching equity perpetuals by early next year for non-U.S. traders, making equities available 24/7 around the world. A global spectacle. 🌍
