XRP Ledger releases version 3.4.0 with Lending Protocol v1.1

  • Lending Protocol v1.1 adds closed vaults and cash accounting for lenders
  • XLS-66 loans use off-chain underwriting instead of on-chain collateral
  • Amendments activate only after validator approval
  • The update changes node behavior when ledger history is missing
Why it matters: Expanding XRPL's lending functionality could attract institutional borrowing to the network, but only after validator voting.
