Ripple CTO Advocates for AMM Integration with XRP Ledger
Ripple’s chief technology officer, David Schwartz, has expressed support for integrating an automated market maker (AMM) feature with the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to enable the creation of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on the XRPL. In a social media post, Schwartz described AMMs as a fascinating aspect of decentralized finance. However, he emphasized that implementing this feature should only proceed with the consensus of the XRPL community. The XRPL operates as a decentralized blockchain network that facilitates efficient and secure transactions for the XRP cryptocurrency. Unlike conventional systems, XRPL employs the Ripple Protocol Consensus Algorithm (RPCA) for consensus, ensuring quick transaction processing and scalability. The integration of an AMM would not only add a new trading engine but also enable integration with the XRPL decentralized exchange.
Validators Should Vote in Consensus for AMM Integration
Schwartz cautioned validators against voting independently for implementing the AMM changes on XRPL. He stressed the importance of the community reaching a consensus first before proceeding with the changes. Validators should vote ‘YES’ overwhelmingly when they observe that the majority of the community agrees and sufficient nodes endorse the adjustment. Schwartz’s cautionary approach is aimed at ensuring that decisions regarding AMM integration are made collectively and transparently by the XRPL community. This ensures that there is widespread support and acceptance of the changes within the network.
Considerations and Risks When Investing in XRP through AMMs
Schwartz previously urged caution for those considering investing in XRP through an AMM. He outlined three key reasons for this caution. Firstly, he highlighted that price fluctuations of one asset within an AMM can impact the value of all other assets in the pool, including XRP. Secondly, while acknowledging the usefulness of AMMs for trading, Schwartz emphasized the need for investors to thoroughly research and understand the potential risks before choosing to hold XRP within an AMM. Lastly, he pointed out that there is no guarantee of substantial price gains for XRP despite AMMs providing liquidity for the token.
Ripple Scores Victory as Judge Denies SEC’s Appeal
Judge Analisa Torres has denied the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) motion to appeal its loss against Ripple Labs. The SEC sought to appeal the partial ruling in Ripple’s favor, which declared that retail XRP token sales didn’t meet the legal definition of a security. However, Judge Torres rejected the SEC’s motion, stating that they failed to prove controlling legal questions or substantial differences of opinion. This ruling marks a crucial win for Ripple and reaffirms the validity of the previous ruling.
Hot Take: Ripple’s Push for Decentralized Exchanges
Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz, is advocating for the integration of an automated market maker (AMM) feature with the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to enable decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on XRPL. While this move could enhance liquidity and trading capabilities on XRPL, Schwartz emphasizes that consensus from the XRPL community is essential before implementing this feature. Validators are urged to vote ‘YES’ overwhelmingly if they observe community support and sufficient node endorsement. Additionally, Schwartz advises caution when investing in XRP through AMMs due to potential risks such as exposure to other digital assets and limited potential for substantial gains. In related news, Ripple secures another victory as a judge denies the SEC’s appeal in the ongoing legal battle over XRP’s classification as a security.
