RippleX, the developer arm of Ripple, has&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/RippleXDev/status/1777831155858837913" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">urged</a> node operators to upgrade to version 2.1.1.&nbsp;
If they fail to update to the new version in a timely fashion, they will be amendment blocked.
The latest version of the reference server implementation of the XRPL became available a week ago. It has introduced an important amendment that is supposed to fix a critical Automated Market Maker (AMM) vulnerability.&nbsp;
The AMM bug fix is going to be activated this Thursday, which is why RippleX is urging node operators to perform the upgrade.&nbsp;
As <a href="https://u.today/ripple-releases-exciting-statement-on-xrp-ledger-amm" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reported by U.Today</a>, the AMM amendment went live on the XRPL in May. David Schwartz, Ripple's chief technology officer, described this as a "significant moment" for the XRPL due to its potential to expand the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The AMM mechanism allows ditching traditional order books in favor of individual liquidity pools.&nbsp;
However, it&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/xrp-ledgers-amm-pools-face-tech-issue" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">wasn't smooth sailing</a> for the new AMM feature. In late March, a critical bug was discovered that had hindered the feature's intended functionality. Transactions could not be executed properly due to an inconsistency in some AMM pools.&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/xrp-ledger-surges-400-as-on-chain-activity-grew-in-q4-details" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRPL</a> users were advised against using the feature while the RippleX team was working on fixing the bug. Community participants of the likes of Sologenic were quick to close deposit functionality.&nbsp;
The 2.1.1 release now includes the fixAMMOverflowOffer amendment that is meant to fix the major bug.&nbsp;
