XRP Ledger developers have retired five long-active protocol amendments in the xrpld 3.3.0 release, including Clawback and four others, by removing obsolete pre-amendment code. This retirement does not remove the features themselves; instead, it makes their post-activation behavior permanent within the core protocol. Users holding XRP do not need to take any action, but node operators are advised to upgrade to version 3.3.0 to maintain network participation. Additionally, six new amendments were introduced in this version but require validator approval before activation on the Mainnet.
