#Ripple 's XRP Ledger ( #XRPL ) is undergoing an upgrade, supported by over 80% of validators, with a focus on improving functionality by addressing obscured order books. The upgrade, known as #fixReducedOffersV1, aims to enhance decentralized exchange (DEX) experiences and requires an 80% consensus within a 14-day period for activation. Users are urged to update their software to version 1.12.0, which not only includes bug fixes but also introduces significant additions like fixReducedOffersV1, impacting Automated Market Maker ( #AMM ) and Clawback functions. The update is considered a milestone in XRPL's evolution, solidifying its position as a prominent decentralized public blockchain. Additionally, discussions at the Apex 2023 conference highlight ongoing developments, particularly the #XRPL EVM sidechain update, showcasing the community's active engagement and interest in testing innovative features on the XRPL Devnet. The successful security audit of the Xahau sidechain further contributes to XRPL's positive outlook.
