XRP Ledger Nodes Face Upgrade Deadline Amid Amendment Activation

Only around 46% of XRP Ledger nodes had completed the upgrade by May 19, despite the fixCleanup3_1_3 amendment being set to activate on May 27. According to NS3.AI, David Schwartz mentioned that a hard fork would require sufficient validators on each side to establish a functional unique node list, while minimizing the likelihood of a contentious split. The XRP Ledger Foundation's release notes advised server operators to upgrade to version 3.1.3 immediately, warning that nodes failing to upgrade could become amendment-blocked.
