# XRP Ledger technical upgrades and performance milestones > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/xrp-ledger-technical-upgrades-and-performance-milestones > Updated: 2026-09-20T03:37:56.000Z. Sources: 9. Developments: 2. The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has recently undergone technical developments focused on throughput and transaction efficiency. In mid-September, the network set a new record by validating up to 3,254 transactions in a single block. This surge, likely driven by throughput testing rather than organic retail activity, involved many ‘1-drop’ XRP payments and occurred following the activation of the fixCleanup3_3_0 amendment. Following this milestone, attention has shifted toward the upcoming Batch V1.1 upgrade, which is expected to activate around September 29. This feature allows up to eight transactions to be grouped into a single atomic operation, facilitating simultaneous settlement of linked asset and payment transfers. The upgrade has attracted interest from asset managers and commercial projects. As of late September, the amendment has maintained the required 80% validator support threshold. This version of the protocol follows previous iterations that were revised to address signature validation flaws identified earlier in the year. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-20: XRP Ledger Batch V1.1 upgrade attracts interest from asset managers Ripple states that asset managers are preparing for the XRP Ledger Batch V1.1 upgrade, which allows up to eight transactions to be bundled into a single atomic operation for improved settlement efficiency. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/xrp-ledger-batch-v11-upgrade-attracts-interest-from-asset-managers ### 2026-09-13: XRP Ledger sets new transaction record in single block The XRP Ledger set a new record by processing up to 3,254 transactions in a single block, likely due to throughput testing involving small 1-drop XRP payments. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/xrp-ledger-sets-new-transaction-record-in-single-block --- Cite as: XRP Ledger technical upgrades and performance milestones.
