XRP Ledger is set to welcome a major amendment in the coming hours. According to Vet, the Credentials amendment on XRP Ledger is set to activate in hours. Credentials can be applied to attest to a compliance requirement such as KYC and AML for a user/institution and issued to their Decentralized Identity.
The credentials amendment has received 28 out of 35 votes (82.86%) and is expected to activate Sept. 4, 2025, 3:51:21 a.m. UTC.
According to XRP Ledger documentation, Credentials represents a set of tools for managing authorization and compliance requirements using XRP Ledger and adds three new transaction types for managing credentials. These are CredentialCreate transaction, which creates a credential in the ledger; CredentialAccept transaction, which accepts a credential issued, and CredentialDelete transaction, which deletes a credential from the ledger.
Among other things, Credentials modifies an existing transaction type, adds a new field to several existing transaction types, adds a new type of ledger entry, modifies an existing type of ledger entry and also allows lookup of Credential entries.
In the past week, three amendments, fixAMMv1_3, fixEnforceNFTokenTrustlineV2 and fixPayChanCancelAfter, were activated on the XRP Ledger mainnet.
