AMM Status Update

As previously expected , the AMM Amendment to the XRP Ledger went live on 2024-03-22. However, soon after, a community member identified a discrepancy in a few AMM pools which indicated transactions were not executing as intended. A team including RippleX, Orchestra Finance, tequ, and other members of the XRP Ledger community moved quickly to identify the source of the problem, which involves how the DEX payment engine routes liquidity through AMM pools and order books in some complex payment path scenarios.

Get Ready for AMM

The AMM Amendment to the XRP Ledger protocol, which adds Automated Market Maker functionality, is on track to become enabled on Mainnet on 2024-03-22. If it maintains support from a supermajority of validators and becomes enabled as expected, this represents the culmination of a 2-year project to bring AMM to the XRPL, starting from the XLS-30 draft specification proposed by Aanchal Malhotra and David Schwartz of Ripple and incorporating the work and feedback of numerous contributors in the XRPL community during that time.

On 2019-01-11, the fixCheckThreading and fixPayChanRecipientOwnerDir amendments lost the support of several validators, causing those amendments' support to fall below the 80% threshold for approval. (EnableAmendment LostMajority transactions: fixCheckThreading , fixPayChanRecipientOwnerDir .) As a result, these amendments are no longer expected to become enabled on 2020-01-18, and their status depends on more validators to resume voting in favor of the amendments.

Amendments

On 2020-01-03, the fixCheckThreading and fixPayChanRecipientOwnerDir amendments to the XRP Ledger gained support from a majority of trusted validators. These amendments were introduced in rippled v1.4.0 . Currently, they are expected to become enabled on 2020-01-18.

General

The Data API , an open API that provides data to XRP Charts and third-party tools, suffered gaps in data ingestion on 2019-03-23. As a result, several metrics on XRP Charts , including the number of ledgers closed per day, were overcounted. During this time, the XRP Ledger did not experience any outages. However, the Data API's ingestion service was unable to process ledgers with transactions containing the tecKILLED transaction response code. tecKILLED is a new response code added to the XRP Ledger by amendment fix1578 on 2019-03-23. This necessitated changes to the ripple-binary-codec library used by the ingestion service, but those changes were only partially deployed to the ingestion service. We have since reprocessed and corrected the metrics that were affected by this problem.

As a leader in open-source, distributed financial technology, Ripple recognizes the importance of security researchers and we always encourage responsible disclosure of potential security vulnerabilities via our bug bounty program . Ripple also employs regular external security audits and, as a matter of practice, the maintainers of the Ripple Consensus Ledger (RCL) technology ( rippled ) routinely use static and dynamic analysis tools on the C++ codebase (most recently version 0.50.0-b1).

card block

General

2016 was an important year for Ripple . Banks were added to our growing network , we completed a successful Series B investment round and formed the Global Payments Steering Group . Underlying all those milestones was the Ripple Consensus Ledger (RCL), which runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and recently celebrated its 4th birthday on February 17, 2017. In 2016 alone, RCL closed over 8 million ledgers, processing more than 225 million transactions and handling more than $1 Billion dollars in payment volume throughout the year.

The rippled team has released , which corrects an emergent behavior that resulted in high transaction costs and fewer transactions in validated ledgers over the past few days. The problematic behavior involved large numbers of transactions being stuck in different rippled instances' open ledgers without being consistently relayed to validators. The large number of "stuck" transactions filled the transaction queue and caused a dramatic increase in the open ledger cost.

Last Friday we did a master release of ripple-rest version 1.3.0. We’ve done a few changes externally but the substantial additions in 1.3.0 have been stability and verbose error handling.

Throughout 2014 we've talked to businesses all over the world, both big and small, who are interested in tapping into Ripple's increasing liquidity and settlement capabilities. For exchanges dealing in bitcoins and other assets, the value proposition is clear - deeper orderbooks and the ability for customers to hop between different assets instantly is a major boon to their service. The natural follow-up question is how to get started.
