Ripple Ditches XChainBridge Amendment Amid Lack of Demand
Ripple has recommended withdrawing the pending XChainBridge (XLS-38) amendment for the XRP Ledger after deciding that its primary use case is already fulfilled by Axelar. The amendment would have added native asset bridges using independent witness servers, but no significant developer demand has emerged.
The withdrawal process will proceed gradually with community feedback and validator upgrades. Ripple invites developers with active XLS-38 projects to present their use cases before final removal.
