If you thought the XRP Ledger’s latest tweak was merely a technical footnote, think again. On a moonlit February night, the X account with the viral following of a cat meme announced that version 3.1.1 of the XRP Ledger software is live, and its singular, glorious mission is to throw Batch and its fussy little patch, fixBatchInnerSigs, out the window. In other words: “We love you all, but Batch can go sit in the corner and cry.”
A week earlier, the foundation’s bug‑hunting squad received a shout‑out from its Bug Bounty program that the Batch amendment had indeed been a recipe for disaster. Fixes were in the works, but apparently the more problematic thing was keeping Batch alive at all. So, they sent a message to the community the week after that, and on the 24th they hit the keys and published the new release. It sounded like an astronomer announcing the disappearance of a star: “Gone! Gone!” less cosmic, more ledger‑centric.
The newly minted rippled package, the reference implementation everyone whispers about, strides past 3.1.0 with the swagger of a new author’s debut novel. It chills the Batch extension and the archaic “fix” variant because of a bug so severe it could make a seasoned developer’s brain do a slow roll. Or perhaps it just wanted to grant Batch a quiet retirement.
“XRP Ledger Software version 3.1.1 is available.
This version only deprecates Batch and its older fix amendment.
Make sure to acknowledge the new GPG keys before updating. For this, we have a simple guide here:
More details on the release are in our…”

A gentle word from the Foundation: you now have to give the fresh GPG keys the nod. It’s like handing over the keys to a new toy house-just make sure the lock is in the right spot, or the door might start refusing to open. Ripple’s rotating keys are a novelty; if you don’t publish your trust, auto‑upgrade may find itself stuck in a stubborn “don’t have the key” loop. Good luck, validator folks.
XRP Ledger Eyes Upcoming Devnet Reset
On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, the devnet reset is scheduled to stare the Batch amendment in the face. The reset is a necessary evil to prevent validators who update to 3.1.1 from becoming unwanted “amendment‑blocked” disasters. Think of it like a factory cleaning day: you wipe the floor down to a shine, because the Batch fixture is a can-so clean.
Only devnet gets the blanket wipe‑down; the mainnet, testnet, Xahau and the Hooks testnet take the form‑filling joke and go on with their lives. This will erase every account, transaction, balance, scan, offer, AMM, escrow and little snowflake of data. Libraries and APIs should still function, though.
Once that glorious wipe is completed, a valiant account instantly reads “0 XDXR” and gets a brand‑new block number counter starting at one. Anticipate a new faucet run, because you’ll have to prove you’re there in the test world afresh. That’s the “you’re welcome” note to the devnet community-run, water your accounts, because they are reset to zero.
