The MOST Rigorously Tested Protocol in Ripple XRP History Is Almost Here

The XRP Ledger has introduced its first native lending protocol through amendments XLS 65 and 66, enabling institutional lending directly on the network without bridging. This protocol, described by Ripple as the most rigorously tested in the network's history, involves extensive audits, public attackathons, formal verification, AI-assisted reviews, and community testing. The protocol supports Single Asset Vaults (SAVs) that allow users to pool assets like USDC, XRP, and Ripple US dollar into shared vaults, with vault tokens representing ownership shares. These vaults supply lending markets, enabling family offices and fund managers to deploy assets into money market funds or private credit with yields of 6-8%. This development represents a significant advancement in the XRP Ledger's DeFi ecosystem, providing native on-ledger credit functionality that was previously unavailable.
