The XRP Ledger's Token Escrow amendment has achieved a decisive consensus of 82.35% with 28 affirmative validator votes, officially entering its two-week activation period. It is scheduled to go live on February 12, 2026, at 9:21:01 p.m. UTC. This upgrade significantly expands the ledger's native escrow functionality beyond XRP to support any issued token, including Trustline-based tokens (IOUs) and Multi-Purpose Tokens (MPTs).
This enhancement will allow users to securely lock a diverse array of digital assets in escrow, such as stablecoins like RLUSD, meme coins, and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). Ripple engineer Mayukha Vadari issued a key reminder to the XRPL community, urging developers and projects to thoroughly test upcoming amendments on the devnet to identify and resolve potential issues early.
The activation is part of a broader suite of 2026 upgrades for the XRP Ledger. Version 3.1.0 was recently released, introducing new features like Single Asset Vaults and the foundational Lending Protocol, alongside critical bug fixes such as fixBatchInnerSigs. Other amendments, including fixTokenEscrowV1 and the permissioned domains amendment, are also progressing through the consensus process.
