Over 6 Million NFTs Minted on XRPL

The previous month saw the successful activation of the Automated Market Maker (AMM) amendment, XLS-30, on the XRP Ledger mainnet. This native function, which has run for more than two years, seeks to increase on-chain liquidity and give trading ability to DeFi developers and users. This amendment launch shows XRPL’s commitment to meeting the changing needs of the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector.

Nevertheless, it has been a tough process. A bug in an AMM functionality was found not long after the launch of the feature. The XRPL community quickly fixed the problem, and the AMM bug fix was released in version 2.1.1 of the XRPL software Rippled. Having a consensus of more than 80% to activation, the amendment will be implemented on April 11. This quick reply, in turn, shows the communities’ poverty in order to maintain a secure and quality environment.

The XRP Ledger has experienced considerable growth in the domain of non-fungible tokens (NFTs), with a total of 6,492,852 NFTs minted so far, as per Bithomp Explorer data. The move into NFTs demonstrates the capacity of XRPL to respond flexibly to the trends and requirements of the digital asset market. NFTs are enjoying popularity for now, and XRPL’s support for these assets makes its lure stronger for a wider market.
