XRP Ledger Fixes Lending Protocol Ahead of Launch

Current overview (not historical)

AI overview

XRP Ledger has released a follow‑up amendment, LendingProtocolV1_1, to correct issues in its original lending code before the protocol goes live. The patch addresses known defects, ensuring the system is secure and functional. The protocol introduces on‑chain, periodic unsecured loans that rely on pooled funds and first‑loss capital to guard against defaults. Activation of the lending feature requires a two‑week period during which at least 80% of validators must support the change. This step aims to build confidence in the protocol’s safety and operational readiness.

    Report first recorded Oct 20, 05:05

    XRP Ledger developers are patching its new lending protocol before it goes live, adding a follow-up amendment LendingProtocolV1_1 to fix the original code while it remains in the network's voting queue. The protocol enables on-chain, fixed-term, uncollateralized loans using pooled funds and "first-loss capital" to absorb defaults, relying on off-chain underwriting rather than automated collateral. Amendments require 80% validator support over two weeks to activate.
