# Discover Upcoming XRP Ledger Amendments and Features with Devnet!
|
|
|
|
A new XRP Ledger Devnet is now available for developers to access upcoming features of XRPL on beta build versions of `rippled`, the C++ reference implementation of the XRP Ledger.
|
|
|
|
Previously, developers could only access the latest stable version of rippled on either of the following:
|
|
|
|
* XRP Ledger Testnet, a test network
|
|
* XRP Ledger Mainnet, the production network
|
|
|
|
The launch of XRPL Devnet helps promote more developer engagement and experimentation of new use cases on XRP Ledger.
|
|
|
|
Devnet will be updated with the latest beta build versions, starting with `rippled` version [1.4.0-b5](https://github.com/ripple/rippled/tree/develop/Builds), as they become available on the [development branch](https://github.com/ripple/rippled/tree/develop) of `rippled`.
|
|
|
|
Developers can access [XRP Ledger Devnet](https://xrpl.org/xrp-testnet-faucet.html) by generating account credentials, which automatically deposits Devnet XRP from the Devnet Faucet.
|
|
|
|
Upon launch, XRP Ledger Devnet supports the [X-Address Format](https://xrpaddress.info/), which was recently proposed as a new standard format for displaying XRP addresses and [Deletable Accounts](https://github.com/xrp-community/standards-drafts/issues/8), which is a recently proposed [Amendment](https://xrpl.org/amendments.html) that allows users to delete their XRP Ledger accounts and recover all but 5 XRP from their [base reserve](https://xrpl.org/reserves.html#base-reserve-and-owner-reserve) of 20 XRP.
|
|
|
|
Developers can expect XRP Ledger Devnet to be updated more frequently than Testnet or Mainnet. Notice will be given ahead of any Devnet ledger resets, which are periodically required.
|
|
|
|
Also, as of today, developers can access [XRP-API](https://xrpl.org/xrp-api.html), a language agnostic REST-like API for the XRP Ledger; and the [Xpring SDK](https://github.com/xpring-eng/Xpring-SDK), which is a set of language-specific libraries and services designed by the [Xpring](https://xpring.io/) team at Ripple, to make interaction with the XRP Ledger and Interledger easy and intuitive.
