Vet, an XRPL validator and director of community at the XRP Ledger Foundation, shared about an XRP Ledger feature that could change how treasury management works.
According to Vet, Permission Delegation is a new functionality for compliance coming to the XRP Ledger soon. The feature will allow users to delegate specific tasks onchain while keeping account keys in cold storage, with Vet adding that “It was born out of the need to manage a treasury.”
Permission Delegation is the function of granting various permissions to another account to send permissions on behalf of the user’s account. Permission Delegation can be used to enable flexible security paradigms such as role-based access control, instead of or alongside techniques such as multi-signing.

Discussions about Permission Delegation date back to 2024. The amendment XLS-75d “Permission Delegation” was introduced in XRPL v2.6.1 but was later disabled in September 2025 due to a bug that allowed an account to charge transaction fees to any other account and could have been maliciously used to drain an account’s XRP balance; hence, the feature was not enabled on mainnet.
Vet’s recent comments suggest that Permission Delegation might soon be coming to the XRP Ledger, which will unlock fresh potential on the XRPL.
