XRP Ledger (XRPL) has returned to normal operations after experiencing intermittent transaction-processing delays earlier this month. According to XRP Ledger Operations, the issue was resolved through a configuration change recommended to network operators on October 22nd.
The disruption occurred alongside a separate setback for a protocol amendment designed to enhance the network's security. This planned upgrade, which was intended to address the underlying issues causing the delays, has now been postponed by two weeks.
While the network has recovered, the incident raises concerns about the XRPL's resilience to technical disruptions. The delay in the security upgrade further complicates efforts to improve the network's stability.
