On October 8, 2026, the XRP Ledger enabled PermissionDelegationV1_1. This feature allows account owners to authorize other accounts to perform specific tasks without sharing the master key. Each auxiliary account can receive up to 10 permissions, which are restricted by operation type and do not automatically set a spending limit. CoinDesk said that banks and stablecoin issuers could use this to separate payment and compliance responsibilities. Official guidance currently recommends not delegating PaymentBurn; the related fix has received support from 27 of the 35 validators, and the two-week countdown will not begin until it reaches 29 votes.
