XRPSCAN has introduced a new update by adding historical voting data for amendments already activated in the XRP Ledger, improving governance transparency.
Overview of the New Feature
The XRPSCAN amendment page now displays the validator voting state just before activation, including which operators supported the change and when a supermajority was reached. "This is huge! It will help tremendously in evaluating operator activity of XRPL validators!" noted a community user.
Strengthening Validator Oversight and UNL Curation
Historical voting records are a valuable tool for those curating Unique Node Lists (UNL). Until now, UNL selection depended largely on operator reputation and uptime. Now, participants can clearly distinguish between validators who actively engage in governance and those who remain passive.
Community Reaction and XRPSCAN's Future Plans
XRPL validator Vet praised the update as "huge," pointing out its usefulness in evaluating validator activity. He also raised a question about whether the system would capture changes in validator votes over time. XRPSCAN responded that a voting trend chart is planned to display full chronological voting history.
The XRPSCAN update introducing historical voting data marks a significant milestone in XRPL governance, enabling users to make more informed choices and enhancing accountability across the network.
