Ripple XRPL Users to Deposit and Withdraw Assets on AMM Instance (Pool) Via New AMM Amendment

The amendment has been added as a pull request to the Rippled codebase and will undergo rigorous testing before voting commences.

A new amendment for Automated Market Maker (AMM) has been proposed as a pull request on the Rippled codebase. The AMM amendment was proposed by Ripple CTO David Schwartz and RippleX’s head of research, Aanchal Malhotra. 

Through the amendment, Ripple users can deposit, withdraw and govern on an AMM Instance (Pool). In addition, the amendment will also incentivize liquidity providers on the native decentralized exchange, XRPL DEX, thus boosting the capacity of XRP as a bridging currency.  

Furthermore, adding a feature on AMM Instance will also increase the continuation of auctioning off trading advantages to arbitrageurs for a fee, which will be given to liquidity providers. 

The development was shared by Wo Jake, a Ripple enthusiast who tweets about XRPL governance, network, and dev-related matters.

“Regarding the governance mechanism, an AMM Instance also provides governance rights to the largest stakeholders of the AMM Instance. This allows them to vote on the trading fee the instance charges,” Jake said. 

With the amendment already live as a pull request on the Rippled codebase, the next phase is to pass the required testing before it is available on XRPL for voting. 

“This whole amendment screams LIQUIDITY,” Jake concluded. 

Meanwhile, the development was also shared by prominent Ripple influencer Crypto Eri.

Previous Ripple AMM Proposal

The update comes a few months after a GitHub release suggested that conversations were ongoing to add AMM on the XRP Ledger blockchain.

With AMM, crypto assets can be traded without the conventional order books used by centralized exchanges. Users can automatically commence trading, thanks to a pool of available tokens made available by liquidity providers.
