• The launch of the XLS-30D amendment introducing an AMM to XRPL is postponed due to a critical bug.
• RippleX proposes a solution, ensuring smooth AMM transactions even with trading fees below 0.01%.

The much-anticipated XLS-30D amendment for the XRPL, aimed at implementing an Automated Market Maker (AMM), has been postponed from its intended launch on February 14th due to a critical flaw identified in the AMM code.

As recently reported by CNF, Ripple’s XRPL Gears Up for a Transformative Leap with AMM Upgrade. RippleX uncovered a serious issue during their rigorous testing phase, noting that it specifically interferes with transactions when trading fees fall below the 0.01% threshold. Despite the relatively minor nature of this bug, XRPL validators have withdrawn their support, voicing concerns over the potential impact on XRPL’s reputation and insisting on a resolution prior to rollout.

In response to the setback, Ripple outlined a strategy via a tweet on X to address the bug discovered during extended integration testing for the AMM:

• Problem: A bug was found that could obstruct the processing of multiple AMM transactions within the same ledger, especially when trading fees are set below 0.01%.
• Solution: Ripple proposed a corrective measure that guarantees the seamless execution of AMM transactions, even at low trading fees.
• Trading Fee Impact: Should the trading fee be less than 0.01%, transactions are required to pause for 3-5 seconds post-AMM creation, with the exception of the initial AMMVote in each ledger.
• Fix Details: The proposed fix involves an update that enhances how inner objects identify default fields in both the ledger and AMM code.
• Outcome: This solution is designed to preserve the accuracy of the AMM and the stability of the ledger, effectively mitigating uncommon issues for consistent functionality.

Furthermore, the support of high-quality VR and AR by xSPECTAR™ illustrates a steadfast dedication to maintaining the highest standards for the XRPL and its community. As articulated in a recent tweet, the decision to oppose the AMM amendment until the known issue is resolved underscores a commitment to integrity and responsible governance.

The introduction of the AMM amendment is poised to transform the XRPL by facilitating the creation of liquidity pools, thus enabling decentralized trading and liquidity provision akin to other prominent DeFi platforms. This development is widely regarded as a pivotal advancement for XRPL, furthering the realization of the Internet of Value.

Nevertheless, the XRPL Labs team, creators of Xaman, have retracted their affirmative vote. Currently, validator consensus has fallen to 71.43%, below the 80% threshold required for amendment approval, thereby halting the amendment’s passage.

Despite this, the majority of validators, including key stakeholders like Ripple, Bithomp, XRPScan, Alloy Networks, Bitrue, and others, continue to endorse the amendment. XRPGoat, a notable dUNL validator, has suggested proceeding with the AMM deployment given the bug’s minor nature, advocating for a concurrent fix.

As the situation unfolds, Ripple’s valuation has seen a moderate increase, trading at $0.5154, marking a 2.45% rise over the last day and a 4.24% gain over the previous week.
