RippleX senior software engineer Mayukha Vadari recently revealed in an X post that the Batch amendment pull request (PR) has officially been merged into the XRP Ledger (XRPL) codebase. This means the feature will be included in the upcoming Rippled release.
Vet, an XRPL dUNL validator, also tweeted about the milestone, signaling the excitement in the community. XLS-56 Batch Transactions will allow users to batch transactions using the XLS-56d specification and support all transaction types with a limit of eight. The amendment also supports atomic swaps.
XLS-56 allows smart transaction dependency logic within a set of transactions that it bundles, with Vet highlighting its use cases to range from XRPL project monetization to NFT p2p trading.
As reported this week, RippleX software engineer Mayukha Vadari hinted at a ton of new features coming shortly to XRP Ledger, one of which was batch transactions.
Others include Account Permission Delegation, which is currently being tested on devnet. Multipurpose tokens (MPTs), Credentials, Permissioned Domains and Dynamic NFTs features have been released for voting but have yet to be deployed on mainnet. Smart Escrows is also presently testing on the WASM devnet.
Major release anticipated
The upcoming 2.5.0 release, anticipated in June, is expected to result in significantly lower memory and bandwidth use for node operators.
