XRP Ledger patches lending protocol before validators approve it
Developers have published a second amendment, LendingProtocolV1_1, to fix the original uncollateralised lending code while it is still in the validator voting queue.
Key points
- The original LendingProtocol amendment is still open for validator voting and has not activated.
- Amendments need 80% support from trusted validators over two weeks to go live.
- The protocol uses off-chain underwriting and first-loss capital instead of on-chain collateral.
XRP Ledger developers are repairing the network's new lending protocol before it goes live, according to Decrypt. A follow-up amendment, LendingProtocolV1_1, corrects issues in the original LendingProtocol code while that version is still in the voting queue. The documentation now lists both amendments as requirements, so the repaired version would be adopted from the start.
Because the original lending code has not cleared that threshold, patching it now avoids launching a known-flawed system and fixing it afterwards.
Issuers keep compliance tools such as freezing accounts or clawing back funds.
What to watch: Both amendments must still win 80% support from trusted validators over two weeks before the lending protocol can activate.
