SHKeeper Update: XRP Reserve and Deletion Fees Significantly Reduced
The XRPL blockchain officially activated an important protocol-level update: “Lower Reserves Are in Effect”. This change directly impacts how account reserves and deletion fees are handled on the XRP Ledger.
What’s New:
The SHKeeper update modifies the default values of two critical protocol variables:
- ACCOUNT_RESERVE — the amount of XRP reserved per account
- DELETE_ACCOUNT_FEE — the fee required to delete an account
Why This Matters
For SHKeeper users leveraging one-time destination accounts, this change significantly reduces operational costs when consolidating funds.
Previously, closing a disposable account and transferring all XRP to a primary address required a 2 XRP fee. With the updated XRP version, the same operation now costs just 0.2 XRP — a 90% reduction.
What You Should Do
To take advantage of these reduced reserve requirements, make sure your SHKeeper node is running the latest release.
Run the following commands to upgrade:
helm repo updatehelm upgrade -f values.yaml shkeeper vsys-host/shkeeperThis ensures compatibility with the updated XRP reserve logic and allows your infrastructure to operate more cost-efficiently moving forward.
