XRP Upgrade in Focus: $1 Billon Treasury Firm Highlights New Potential

In a recent tweet, $1 billion $XRP treasury company Evernorth spotlights the XRPL native protocol. The $XRP Ledger Lending protocol was introduced in rippled version 3.1.0 and is currently being voted upon.

"$XRP’s native lending protocol is on the way," Evernorth wrote in a recent tweet highlighting the potential of this major XRPL upgrade.

"Single asset vaults. Term lending with automated repayments. Confidential transfers using zero-knowledge proofs. On-chain institutional infrastructure built at the protocol level," Evernorth wrote.

$XRP enthusiast "Bank $XRP" spotlights Evernorth's insights on the $XRP Ledger Protocol, referring to the $XRP Ledger lending protocol as the "final piece of the XRPL stack."

XLS-66 changes the game as it unlocks utility by putting over $100 billion in dormant $XRP to work; it utilizes native security with no need for wrapping or bridging.

Evernorth plans to use XLS-66 as, in an earlier announcement, the firm called for rigorous battle-testing of the new amendment.

According to J.A Akinyele, Ripple is taking a more proactive, AI-driven approach to strengthening XRPL security. This includes AI-assisted testing across the development lifecycle, a dedicated red team and higher standards for how changes are evaluated before they go live.
