XRPL submits a proposal to upgrade the AMM mechanism

XRP Ledger developers submitted a draft amendment called "AMM Swappable Curves," which plans to introduce three types of swappable curves for the XRPL native automated market maker: constant product, concentrated liquidity, and StableSwap, with a programmable Smart AMM to be added later. This upgrade aims to allow liquidity providers to choose more suitable pricing curves based on asset types, thereby improving capital efficiency.

Concentrated liquidity is suitable for trading pairs where most transactions are concentrated within a specific price range, while StableSwap is more appropriate for assets that are close to a 1:1 exchange, such as stablecoins or pegged assets. Existing AMM pools will continue to use the current constant product model and will not require migration. This proposal is seen as an important step in addressing the shortcomings of the DeFi infrastructure on XRPL.

Currently, there are over $3 billion in tokenized real-world assets on the XRPL chain, including a recent pilot for tokenized U.S. Treasury redemptions completed by Ripple and JPMorgan. However, to enable these assets to trade, lend, or generate yield more efficiently, a more mature DeFi liquidity infrastructure is still needed. Nevertheless, this proposal is still in the draft stage and will need to go through the XRPL amendment voting process, which may take several months, and there is still uncertainty about whether it will ultimately pass.
