XRPL Foundation director of community Hussein Zangana (Vet) highlighted this milestone in a recent X post. "The XRP Ledger introduced its first privacy amendment for voting. Allowing balances and transfer amounts of tokens on XRPL to be encrypted without a private walled garden chain. Privacy on XRP," Vet wrote.

The XRP Ledger version 3.3.0, launched this week, introduced several new amendments, including Confidential Transfer, which adds private transfers for Multi-Purpose Tokens. This is notably the first XRPL privacy amendment.

The Confidential Transfers feature provides institutional-grade privacy for multi-purpose tokens using advanced cryptography (EC-ElGamal and ZKPs). Individual balances and transfer amounts remain shielded from the public ledger while compliance mechanisms for authorized parties (issuers, auditors, or designated entities) are maintained to verify total supply and meet regulatory obligations.

FixCleanup3_3_0 bundles several fixes for the 3.3.0 release, including unifying freeze and deep freeze checks for transfers to and from pseudo-accounts in the VaultDeposit, VaultWithdraw, AMMDeposit, AMMWithdraw, LoanBrokerCoverDeposit, and LoanBrokerCoverWithdraw transactions.

FixCleanup3_3_0 also fixes hybrid offers being removed from the open order book when the account that placed them loses access to the permissioned domain and resolves Automated Market Maker liquidity being included in quality estimates for permissioned DEX order books. It adds further precision and rounding fixes for Single Asset Vaults and the Lending Protocol, among several other fixes.

The XRP Ledger version 3.3.0 retires the long-active Clawback, fixDisallowIncomingV1, fixInnerObjTemplate, fixNFTokenReserve, and fixUniversalNumber amendments, making them a permanent part of the protocol.
