XRPLD, the reference implementation of the XRP Ledger protocol, released version 3.2.0 on June 15, 2026. The primary change in this update is the introduction of a new GPG key used to sign xrpld packages, following Ripple’s key rotation that took place on February 18, 2026.
The key rotation is part of Ripple’s ongoing commitment to secure software distribution. By signing packages with a fresh key, the project reduces the risk of compromised or outdated signing credentials. Users who rely on xrpld for running ledger nodes are encouraged to verify the new key fingerprint before installing or updating the software.
To update to 3.2.0, developers can follow the installation guide available on the XRPL documentation site. The guide outlines steps for downloading the new release, verifying the GPG signature, and restarting the server. The process is identical to previous updates, ensuring a smooth transition for existing deployments.
Beyond the key rotation, the release notes do not list additional functional changes. The focus remains on maintaining the integrity and security of the xrpld distribution pipeline.
For more detailed information, including the full list of changes and the new key fingerprint, developers can consult the official release page on GitHub and the accompanying blog post on Ripple’s website.
