The XRP Ledger Foundation has officially announced a strategic partnership with the Ankr infrastructure provider aimed at expanding the global availability of public nodes on the XRPL network. This agreement provides for the deployment of a distributed network of RPC nodes in key locations, including New York, Singapore, Amsterdam and San Francisco. The initiative is designed to significantly simplify integration for developers and users, eliminating the need for self-deployment and support of their own validators. The new portal provides free access to JSON-RPC endpoints for both the main and test networks, and also offers real-time monitoring tools that display block heights, network latency, and the volume of requests processed.

The infrastructure launch took place ahead of the critical upgrade of the xrpld core network to version 3.3.0, which is scheduled for next week, subject to approval by the validators. Jazzy Cooper, Head of RippleX's product department, announced five key amendments designed to expand the platform's functionality for working with tokenized assets. These include Confidential MPT, which ensures the confidentiality of multi-purpose tokens through zero-disclosure proofs, batch processing for atomic calculations, delegation of limited transaction rights, a mechanism for sponsored commissions and reserves, as well as dynamic MPT for modifying token properties after issuance.

This infrastructure development followed the successful adoption of the fixCleanup3_2_0 amendment, which received 85.71% of validator votes last week. The presented interface includes a "Quick Start" section with ready-made code examples in cURL and JavaScript, as well as an intelligent traffic routing system to the nearest available node. Full access to the transaction history will be provided at a later stage. These changes are aimed at expanding the functionality of the network and may contribute to its further development.
