XRP developers have proposed a new amendment that would introduce Batch 
Transactions on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Vet, an XRPL dUNL validator, has 
revealed that the amendment was still under voting by validators. He also 
shared key insights into the proposed amendment, highlighting the main 
benefits it would bring to the ecosystem and some recent challenges it has 
faced. About The New XRP Ledger Amendment The new amendment, XLS-56d: Batch 
Transactions, was created by Denis Angell, a software engineer at XRPL Labs. 
According to reports, the amendment will make it even easier for developers to 
build applications that can generate revenue directly on-chain. It will also 
simplify the process of offering paid features and help automate transaction 
flows. Related Reading: A Major XRP Ledger Win That Most Investors Might Have 
Missed Notably, Vet stated that the highly anticipated amendment would enable 
developers to execute multiple transactions atomically. He explained that this 
capability would support project monetization, trustless swaps, and enable 
businesses to issue service charges more sustainably. Additionally, it would 
help settle multiple accounts and assets atomically. To provide further 
context on the new amendment, Vet referenced a publication by Shawn Xie, a 
developer at RippleX. In the article, Xie explained the concept of atomic 
execution and outlined how the new batch amendment would enhance the XRPL 
ecosystem. He explained that Batch Transactions allow developers to bundle up 
to eight transactions into a single atomic package, ensuring that all 
transfers are executed according to the set rules. This approach delivers more 
predictable, reliable outcomes, representing a significant advancement in 
programmability without relying on smart contracts. For the XRP Ledger, Xie 
has stated that the amendment would create opportunities for cleaner code and 
safer applications. He emphasized that it would improve user experience by 
eliminating issues such as partial mints, broken offers, or failed transfers. 
Additionally, it will allow transactions to be grouped logically and signed 
together. Other benefits of the proposed amendment include introducing new 
monetization paths and design patterns. Xie also noted that Batch Transactions 
would enable immediate utility across many real-world sectors, including 
platform fees, DEX swaps, trustless multi-account swaps, fallback withdrawals, 
and NFT minting/offerings. Batch Amendment Runs Into Bug Issues While still 
under validator voting, the XRP Ledger Foundation reported that the Batch 
amendment had run into a bug, discovered through the platform’s Bug Bounty 
program, before activation. The foundation has revealed that the issue has 
been resolved and the XRPL network remains unaffected and fully secure.

amendment while the team reviews the community-submitted bug report. They said 
the community&#8217;s collaboration was instrumental in catching the issue early and 
preventing potential disruptions. Following this, Vet has shared an update, 
announcing that a new XRP software update will arrive next week, deprecating 
the current Batch amendment. He said follow-ups will likely include a detailed 
bug report and another software release introducing a fixed version of the 
amendment. Featured image from Free3D, chart from Tradingview.com

Another XRP Ledger Amendment Is Coming: The Most Important Things To Know

After a defining year for the ecosystem, the BNB Chain is stepping up its 
efforts to build on its 2025 momentum and continue scaling its performance, 
execution capacity, and infrastructure strength amid sustained usage growth.

This Critical Level BNB Chain 2025 Technical Outcomes Pave The Way On Monday, 
the BNB Chain shared its Tech Roadmap 2026, outlining plans to continue 
operating at a large scale while supporting sustained growth across trading 
activity, stablecoins, and real-world assets (RWA). The roadmap noted that 
2025 was a “defining year” for the ecosystem, with major milestones achieved 
without downtime. As they explained, the BNB chain focused on reliability, 
speed, cost efficiency, and fairness as the four core technical priorities of 
the year. “These goals translated into tangible network outcomes,” the BNB 
Chain affirmed, highlighting a 40.5% increase in total value locked (TVL), a 
150% year-over-year (YoY) growth in daily transactions, a surge in trading 
volume and stablecoin market capitalization, and reaching the highest daily 
active users across blockchains. A recent report by CoinDesk Research pointed 
out that the BNB Smart Chain (BSC) leads the pack in stablecoin annual growth, 
soaring 133% YoY. The BSC significantly contributed to the surge in DEX 
volume, with its annual DEX trading volume surging by over 100% in 2025. The 
network also overtook Solana and Ethereum in daily volume during peak periods, 
capturing nearly 30% of the total DEX market share at one point. Meanwhile, 
the BNB Chain also led in app revenue growth YoY, increasing 48%. At the 
protocol level, the roadmap emphasized that BNB Chain’s performance 
improvements were driven by four major hardforks, which reduced block time 
from 3 seconds to 0.45 seconds and finality from 7.5 seconds to 1.125 seconds, 
while doubling network bandwidth to 133 million gas per second. Following 
these changes, the network has “consistently handled up to 5 trillion gas used 
per day, equivalent to approximately 238 million native transfers.” Meanwhile, 
gas Price dropped roughly 20 times, from 1Gwei to 0.05Gwei. Building The 
‘Next-Generation&#8217; Trading Chain Now, the BNB Chain is working on multiple 
network optimizations in 2026 to establish the BSC as a “highly optimized EVM 
trading chain.” It seeks to achieve 20,000 transactions per second (TPS) with 
sub-second finality, further reduce gas fees through software optimizations, 
and push finality deeper into sub-second territory with advanced consensus and 
network latency improvements. The BNB Chain plans to make enhancements for a 
“performance-optimized” EVM execution engine. These include a new execution 
engine “focused on best-in-class single-core performance using register-based 
interpretation and AOT/JIT techniques,” and “conflict-less parallel execution 
during block chasing using EIP-7928 (BAL).” The network is also planning to 
redesign storage systems for parallel-friendly access and continue developing 
middleware to reduce complexity for advanced applications, such as a privacy 
framework and an AI agent framework. In addition, the BNB Chain shared a long- 
term plan to design the “next-generation trading chain to support extreme 
performance requirements” between 2026 and 2028. Related Reading: Investors In 
Trump Family Memecoins Record $4.3 Billion In Losses As Tokens Sink The main 
goals include targeting approximately 1 million TPS, requiring sustained 
execution capacity of ~20 GGas per second; achieving near-instant transaction 
confirmation, with a best-case target of 150m; adopting a hybrid off-chain and 
on-chain compute architecture using execution proofs and attestations; 
strengthening decentralization through improved validator models and fault 
tolerance; and delivering best-in-class security and production reliability. 
“The next phase focuses on ensuring that this performance remains sustainable, 
fair, and extensible as the network continues to grow,” the roadmap concluded.
