Ripple's engineering director Vijay Khanna announced plans for performance enhancements to the XRP Ledger in 2027, though he provided no specifics on throughput goals or timing. The announcement follows recent comparisons between the network's roughly 1,500 transactions per second and commercial payment systems like Visa.

Meanwhile, the xrpld 3.3.0 release has reduced validator memory use by 13% to 23% by fixing how the memory allocator handles freed resources. The XRP Ledger Foundation's 2027 roadmap lists 24 planned features including smart contracts, lending pools and derivatives. These additions may increase network demands, making the promised performance work more critical.
