Revolutionizing DeFi on XRPL with New Lending Protocol 🚀
Ripple unveils an initiative to bolster the XRP Ledger’s decentralized finance capabilities with an on-chain lending protocol. The proposal, identified as 0066 XLS—66d, aims to create a censorship-resistant DeFi ecosystem within the network, now open for public scrutiny on GitHub.
Introducing a Native Lending Protocol on XRPL 🌐
The proposal outlines a native lending protocol on the XRPL to enhance its interaction with the DeFi ecosystem. This protocol marks a significant step towards improved financial inclusivity and transparency, prioritizing flexibility and reusability in lending and borrowing mechanisms.
- The platform allows participants to contribute fungible tokens like XRP, wBTC, and wETH to a lending pool to earn interest.
- Loan terms can be negotiated off-chain and securely recorded on-chain for transparency and security.
“The Lending Protocol enables fixed-term loans with pre-set terms for interest-accruing loans. It bypasses the need for collateral by using off-chain underwriting, risk management, and a first-loss capital protection scheme in case of default,” RippleX stated.
Potential Impact and Optimism Surrounding the Proposal ⚡️
Blockchain developers can benefit significantly from this proposal due to its modular design and extensibility, promising diverse practical applications. While undergoing review and refinement, there is optimism about its potential impact on the XRP:
- Ripple CTO David Schwartz believes it could introduce a new utility layer without deterring traditional finance entities from its use.
- However, some companies may hesitate to use the feature due to concerns about participating in an unregulated lending product.
Recent Advancements in Ripple’s Ecosystem 📈
This development follows a series of advancements within Ripple’s ecosystem, including the introduction of Automated Market Maker (AMM) pools last month and plans to launch a stablecoin fully backed by US dollar deposits and other cash equivalents.
