The XRP Ledger activated its revised batch transaction system on October 9, 2026, after earlier disabling the original Batch implementation. The upgrade makes coordinated multi-transaction execution available on mainnet and is described as supporting several DeFi and tokenized-market use cases.

At 14:47 UTC the same day, the network activated BatchV1_1, bringing the revised atomic batch transaction system live on mainnet after the original Batch implementation had been disabled earlier in the year.

What it means

Users and developers on the XRP Ledger see the change as soon as the amended batch functions are available on mainnet. The network now accepts coordinated transaction packages again, and the earlier disabled Batch implementation is no longer the live version.

In practice, the main difference is that one outer transaction can now wrap up to eight inner transactions that succeed or fail together. What remains unchanged from the description is that the feature is still a batch mechanism on the XRP Ledger, just in its revised form rather than the earlier one. (per crypto-economy.com)
