People, proposals & participation
Understand who
shapes the network.
XRP Ledger protocol amendments follow validator voting and network adoption. Ripple is an ecosystem company, not a universal token-holder congress.
How participation works
Read current amendment rules and live status. The documented process requires sustained validator supermajority; an XLS document or software release alone does not prove a feature is active.
Known amendments and status
Official catalog; runtime status loads dynamically and needs a current status check.
