According to U.Today, the Automated Market Maker (AMM) engine on XRP Ledger (XRPL) has been updated with a significant new feature called 'fixAMMOverflowOffer'. This update was introduced on the mainnet following a stress test voting period that achieved a 100% consensus. The fixAMMOverflowOffer, released in v2.1.1, aims to correct the improper management of large synthetic AMM offers in the payment engine.
The XRP Ledger is rapidly evolving, necessitating the development of related engines to keep pace with other competing layer-1 blockchain networks. The AMM launch was a significant step in establishing the XRP Ledger's presence in the blockchain world. However, the launch was followed by a major technical glitch that sparked criticism within the ecosystem, leading to the current series of updates.
This update will enable the growing list of AMM Pools on the XRP Ledger to better handle large swap requests on decentralized exchanges (DEXes) hosted on the XRPL. This new functionality could prevent some of the key issues that have previously affected the XRP Ledger.
Ripple developers are working to ensure that validators and other key stakeholders have a positive experience on the platform as the XRP Ledger continues to evolve. There are ongoing updates that will directly affect validators on the XRP Ledger. Other important functionalities have also been added to the XRP Ledger, including the Clawback functionality designed to protect developers and liquidity providers in the event of recorded theft on the network.
Other notable amendments include 'fixDisallowIncomingV1' and 'fixNFTokenReserve', both of which are yet to be launched.
