- Covers 189 dedicated test cases under the BatchV1_1 update on xrpld devnet and CI networks
- Supports packaging up to 8 inner transactions into a single atomic outer batch
- Passed all 5,088 xrpld regression test suites with zero critical open bugs remaining
The Quality Assurance Test Report for Batch Transactions under the XLS-56 standard across xrpld servers, prepared by sgramkumar on September 9, 2026, has detailed the comprehensive verification results. Conducted within a GitLab CI Runner (nix-debian) environment and tested across an xrpld devnet combined with a private CI network, the testing focused on validating the BatchV1_1 amendment, which supersedes the original Batch amendment and hardens BatchSigner authorization and signing semantics.
Prior to this feature rollout, accounts requiring multiple operations to succeed or fail collectively lacked a native way to bind them atomically. Each transaction settled independently, introducing the risk of partial execution states. The Batch feature now allows an account to bundle up to eight inner transactions into a single outer batch transaction processed as a unified atomic unit.
Within the XRP Ledger ecosystem, inner transactions can execute under one of four operating modes: AllOrNothing, OnlyOne, UntilFailure, or Independent. Furthermore, they can be authorized across multiple accounts via BatchSigners, delegated authority, multi-signing, or sequenced by tickets, unlocking reliable multi-step and multi-party workflows in accordance with the XLS-0056-batch specification reference.
Regarding its development timeline:
- The feature was initially introduced as Batch in PR #5060 on May 23, 2025
- It was subsequently disabled in version v3.1.1 due to a critical bug discovered in the original implementation
- It was replaced by BatchV1_1 via PR #6446 on July 1, 2026, featuring hardened BatchSigners and signing preimages
The validation of the Batch (XLS-56) feature marks a milestone for the XRP Ledger, addressing historical limitations where ledger operations were strictly isolated. By empowering developers to bundle multiple instructions with guaranteed all-or-nothing execution, the update significantly reduces complexity for decentralized finance applications and smart-contract-like workflows while preventing vulnerable intermediate states.

The report confirms that all security-critical properties outlined in XLS-56 have been validated with no critical open bugs remaining. Batch transactions have been exercised across 189 dedicated test scenarios encompassing core functional modes, multi-account authorizations, metadata handling, adversarial scenarios, and cross-feature interactions including Permission Delegation, Sponsored Fees & Reserves, and Confidential MPT. Additionally, the complete xrpld regression suite of 5,088 tests was executed to ensure no downstream breakage.
