David Schwartz, the Chief Technology Officer at Ripple, has commended the highly awaited introduction of automated market maker (AMM) functionality on the XRP Ledger. RippleX team disclosed the debut of XRPL AMM on March 22, celebrating it as a noteworthy advancement for the platform's inherent decentralized exchange.
Prior to this integration, liquidity on the XRPL DEX relied solely on manual market making. However, with the recent implementation, a non-custodial automated market maker has emerged as a key component of the XRPL DEX.
Passive Income Opportunities
A notable benefit of the AMM is its provision of passive income opportunities for the XRP community, enabling them to participate as liquidity providers on the XRPL DEX. Ripple's CTO, David Schwartz, conveyed his contentment with the introduction of this liquidity provision service on the XRP blockchain. He remarked that it followed nearly two years of dedicated effort.
Schwartz highlighted that this signifies the commencement of a path towards forthcoming growth achievements for users, traders, developers, market makers, and other stakeholders within the XRPL community. He looks forward to undertaking this journey alongside the entire XRPL community.

Community Celebrates XRPL AMM Launch
The introduction of the XRPL AMM has been warmly welcomed by other members of the XRP community. Panos Mekras, the founder of Anodos Finance, expressed his appreciation to all involved in realizing this AMM.
Notably, the XLS-30 amendment, responsible for introducing the AMM to XRPL, has been under consideration since the previous year. In February, it obtained the requisite consensus from XRPL validators.
Present Outlook
However, following the detection of a bug, consensus for the amendment was temporarily lost until the issue was resolved. This setback led to the launch of the AMM on Friday, March 22.
Following the release, various participants in the cryptocurrency market have created multiple automated market maker pools for XRP. According to data from XRP Explorer XRPScan, there are presently 210 operational liquidity pools.
Among these, the largest liquidity pool for XRP is the USDC/XRP pair, with $178.3K in liquidity and $111.1K in trading volume. This pool has witnessed 1,716 transactions and 428 swaps, involving contributions from 449 individuals. Additionally, other active pools encompass SOLO/XRP, BTC/XRP, FLR/XRP, and USDT/XRP pairs.
