In a pivotal development within the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem,&nbsp;<a href="http://v" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple</a> CTO David Schwartz has broken his silence on the ongoing&nbsp;<a href="https://xrpscan.com/amendment/AMM" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">vote</a> to implement an automated market maker (AMM) protocol on the ledger's decentralized exchange. Responding to queries and disputes from the XRP community, Schwartz addressed concerns about the prolonged voting process, which seems to be fueled by disagreements among XRPL validators.
Addressing questions from the community, Schwartz engaged with an XRPL enthusiast who raised three crucial points for the proposed AMM amendment. These included ensuring&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/ripple-shares-big-update-on-xrp-ethereum-sidechain-launch" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a>'s presence on one side of each new Smart AMM, accepting deposits only from accounts with valid/approved DID codes and enabling both AI and Oracle functionalities.
Schwartz clarified that AMMs do not generate transactions; rather, they provide liquidity when interacting with user-initiated OfferCreate and Payment transactions.

However, another validator expressed reservations, citing performance issues such as network instability and the lack of a fix for the online_delete bug.&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/ripple-cto-introduces-radical-new-strategy-for-his-non-crypto-x-posts" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Schwartz</a>, ever the problem-solver, suggested a straightforward fix for the online_delete issue and proposed experimenting with dynamic self-tuning for increased efficiency.
<blockquote>
 Online delete looks like an easy fix -- reverting 4503. It may also help to increase the NuDB burst size a bit. (We can experiment with making it dynamically self-tune, that's not very hard to do.)<a href="https://t.co/IqrV9SzrJQ" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://t.co/IqrV9SzrJQ</a>— David "JoelKatz" Schwartz (@JoelKatz) <a href="https://twitter.com/JoelKatz/status/1750035684226937170?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">January 24, 2024</a>
</blockquote>
AMMs, the crux of the amendment, facilitate decentralized exchanges by pricing assets algorithmically, eliminating the need for traditional order books. They enable peer-to-peer token trading through liquidity pools secured by smart contracts, lowering exchange fees as token reserves increase.
With 28 out of 35 votes secured and a resounding 60% consensus, the AMM amendment stands on the verge of reshaping the XRPL landscape.
