Highlights: Ripple's XRP Ledger will soon witness another major mainnet upgrade. The XRP Ledger Operations team announced version 3.2.0 is underway. The upgrade follows the recent v3.1.0 launch, which was released on May 27.

XRP Ledger Operations announced that XRP Ledger version 3.2.0 is soon to be deployed. The Ripple-backed XRPL ecosystem is preparing for its next mainnet upgrade, presumably while validators finish reading the last one's changelog.

On Thursday, June 4, the team announced in a post on X, "XRP Ledger 3.2.0 is coming soon!" Additionally, they announced an important modification to the main software of the network. The announcement states that "the core software powering the XRPL is changing its name from rippled to xrpld."

"XRP Ledger 3.2.0 is coming soon! The core software powering the XRPL is changing its name from rippled to xrpld. This transition will require some updates for infrastructure operators.

All infrastructure providers, validators, and node operators will need to make updates to their infrastructure before the migration to the new XRPL mainnet. The XRP Ledger Operations team added, "This transition will require some updates for infrastructure operators."

In the post, a GIF is used to announce the transition. The command line prompt appears to be replaced by the new software name 'xrpled' with a version check that reads 'xrpld version 3.2.0'. The visual also showcases the re-branding of the software package which drives the XRP Ledger and highlights the new version due to be released.

The news was well received by dUNL validator Vet, who emphasized the need for protocol development even amidst market volatility. "Market sentiment is temporary, but the core protocol improvements that our $XRP and other assets live on are permanent," Vet wrote. He went on to spotlight that "in this upcoming upgrade the major name transition from rippled to xrpld will happen." He also thanked the network developers, adding, "Grateful for the consistent work of all the XRP core developers."
