- The AMM on XRPL is set to go live in approximately two weeks, contingent upon validator approval.
- No validator has cast a positive vote for the AMM amendment, with 80% approval needed for its adoption.
- Ripple has successfully concluded performance testing for the AMM.
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is on the brink of introducing a game-changing feature – the automated market maker (AMM). David Schwartz, Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO), recently shed light on the anticipated timeline for the AMM activation.
If most validators give it the green light, the AMM could become operational in two weeks. However, as of now, no validator has voiced their support for this groundbreaking amendment. The AMM’s fate hangs in the balance, awaiting approval from at least 80% of the validators.
In a departure from conventional voting, Schwartz emphasized that validators should gauge community sentiment before casting their votes. He believes the decision should be collective, where validators align with what the community supports.
Ripple’s developers have diligently completed performance testing for the AMM to ensure a smooth rollout. This new feature promises automated swap, trading, and liquidity provisioning capabilities on the XRPL. Furthermore, community members can earn passive income by participating as liquidity providers (LPs) in this ecosystem.
The XRPL community is excited about the AMM’s potential to enhance liquidity and facilitate faster, seamless trading. However, not all proposed amendments have been met with the same enthusiasm.
The clawback feature, for instance, has sparked a heated debate. While Schwartz defends its merits, some community members argue it could undermine the core principles of blockchain technology and decentralization.
As the countdown to the AMM activation continues, the XRPL community finds itself at a crossroads, contemplating the future of the blockchain network and the impact of these proposed amendments.
