XRP ledger developers propose to upgrade firewall to combat scams

XRP ledgers are advancing the XLS-86 firewall upgrade, an optional security feature that allows users to set transaction rules such as time delays or value thresholds to prevent unauthorized withdrawals of funds. The proposal includes a whitelist of trusted addresses that balances security and ease of use. The initiative is designed to address the growing number of phishing and wallet leaks, providing enhanced protection without compulsory adoption. David Schwartz, chief technology officer at Ripple, highlighted the recent risk of fraud and the need for on-chain security measures.
