Should digital asset issuers have more authority to restrict who holds or receives their tokens?
Authors of the XRP Ledger have closed two of four proposed software changes under the fixCleanup3_5_0 update. The remaining two proposals focus on AMM pool tokens and unauthorized trust line payments.
Why it matters
The changes aim to clarify authorization rules for token holding and receiving versus sending. This restructuring reflects consensus on the distinct roles of issuer authorization and account freezes.
The proposed amendments require support from more than 80% of trusted validators to reach activation. This consensus must be maintained by validators for two consecutive weeks.
The players
XRP Ledger
This is a decentralized, public blockchain platform designed for fast, efficient, and scalable asset transfers.
The details
One remaining proposal mandates account authorization for both assets in an AMM pool before acquiring an LP token, while the other prevents payments to unauthorized trust lines that already carry a balance. These updates address gaps in the current asfRequireAuth setting.
Timeline
Authors closed two of the four proposed changes on October 28, 2026.
Two proposals remained open for review as of October 30, 2026.
Market Dynamics
These proposed changes build upon the existing asfRequireAuth ledger setting to enforce stricter asset controls. The shift mirrors broader trends in decentralized finance to move from basic authorization to complex, multi-asset validation protocols.
Current participants in AMM pools may face stricter authorization requirements if these amendments reach final activation. Investors should monitor validator support levels to anticipate changes in how they acquire and manage liquidity pool tokens.
The takeaway
Developers are focusing on consolidating authorization protocols to ensure clearer governance over token holding and liquidity. Users should stay informed on upcoming software releases as these proposals move toward potential validator votes.
