If you don't like pretty pictures, but would rather have someone explain the details to you, you can find my video version of this thread here. 👇

[1/🧵] The institutional financial future will be completely on-chain, HOWEVER...

It will be trust-based, gated, and fully compliant with:
🔸 KYC—AML—CTF—APF—OFAC

How do you stay compliant on the decentralized and permissionless XRP Ledger that's neutral to its users? 👇 [2/18] — Regulatory Compliance —

🔸 Launder money
🔸 Finance terrorism
🔸 Evade sanctions

[1/🧵] Did you know that there is scientific research on the optimal fees for geometric mean market makers (G3M), one of which is the XRPL-AMM?

💡 We are doing it all wrong, and here's everything you need to know to revive the AMM. 👇 [2/20] — Basics —

First of all, among every complaint about the XRPL-AMM, trading fees are something over which we have power.

The voting mechanism of the design passes control to the top eight largest LP-Token holders in each pool, allowing them to regulate trading fees.

[1/🧵] The XRP Ledger is about to level up! 🔥

With all of the proposals, discussions, and development going on right now, here is a thorough, high-level summary of what is in the pipeline 👇 [2/18] — DID —

🔸 A scheme that demands an upfront payment after establishing trust.

One example is a seemingly legitimate loan offered to the victim in exchange for a minor advance payment.

[1/🧵] $XRP Ledger AMM is still not live on the mainnet, and you might be asking:

Why? 🤨

🔸 Why do we care about amendment-blocking?
🔸 Why does updating nodes take so long?
🔸 What is the real issue, & what should we do next?

Allow me to explain what this is all about 👇 [2/17] — 1⃣ The Basics — Why?

Before we go into the details, it's important to understand the basics of why things take so long

Beginning with the fact that amendments represent new features or changes to TX processing

This also holds true when considering simple bug fixes

[1/🧵] Several days have passed, yet no rippled v2.0.0 has been released.

Let's go over some of the reasons for the little delay to the revised date of November 20, 2023. 👇

https://twitter.com/krippenreiter/status/1723520641683296515

[2/9] — New Issue raised — #4811/#4812

🔸 Fix 2.0 Regression

The issue is an unexpected crash that happens when calling a particular method via an API that now returns a different result than it did previously after changing the API to v2 & unifying the return formats.

[1/🧵] A new major breaking change is on its way to the XRPL ecosystem in the shape of yet another rippled version update.

If all goes as planned, this new version will be available to all node operators by November 13, 2023

Let me introduce you to rippled v2.0.0 👇 [2/16] — High-Level Overview —

Don't be put off by the lingo. I promise to go over everything and simplify it for you later.

Here is what's new:
🔸 New API version (v2)
🔸 TPS performance enhancements
🔸 4 new amendments
🔸 New RPC (method)
🔸 Several bug fixes and refactoring

[1/🧵] The drama around XLS-30 (XRPL-AMM) has reached an all-time high.

But you still have no idea what's going on, don't you?

Here is a compilation of every objective argument I could find that makes current UNL-validators hesitant to vote in favor of XLS-30. 👇 [2/14] — 1⃣ Basics —

If you look at the current vote figures, you may believe they all conspired to vote "no," but that is not the case.

There is no such thing as a "neutral" vote, and all votes are either "no" or "yes" until a specific decision to vote differently is made.

[2/29] — Little Remark —

I tried to get everything down as accurately as possible, although some of what I wrote may have been misunderstood by me while I listened to the guests speak.

Please pardon any errors, as I welcome you to correct me in the comment section below.

[1/🧵] No one votes in favor of the XRPL-AMM feature. 🤨

It's been about a month since I last discussed some of the probable reasons behind this.

Let us take another look at what happened in the meantime and how far we have come. 👇 [2/12] — 1⃣st Consideration —

🔸 Network State

100% of all current UNL-validators have upgraded to v1.12.0, meaning that the XRPL has been sufficiently updated to not halt as a safeguard if an amendment is put into effect.

Furthermore, >54% of all nodes are up to date. 🔥

[1/🧵] With the publication of rippled version 1.12.0, the AMM (XLS-30) amendment procedure has only recently begun.

Yet, despite this, no one votes in support of the most recent amendments, such as AMM or Clawback. 🤨

The reasons behind this may surprise you. 👇 [2/19] — Network State —

Let's begin by looking at how many nodes have already updated to v1.12.0 and how many of those are part of the recently formed XRP-UNL 👇

🔸 679 Nodes in total
🔸 136 Nodes - v1.12.0 (20%)
🔸 17 UNL-Validators - v1.12.0 (48%)

[1/🧵] The XRPL ecosystem is growing rapidly, yet you might be wondering:

❝ How do I find out about all of the current new developments and keep up with all of the hot topics around $XRP & XRPL? ❞

The answer is a single website that you've surely already heard about 👇🧵 [2/17] — 1⃣ XRPL-Standards — @github

On GitHub, a platform for developers to build, collaborate, & release software in an open manner, you will find most, if not all, of the information on XRPL.

It's the hub of it all, where you can gain insights & participate in discussions.
