With excitement building, Schwartz sheds light on how this innovative feature is set to revolutionize trading on the XRPL platform.
The Power of Auto-Bridging
Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) has recently authored a comprehensive blog post detailing the innovative “auto-bridging” feature on the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

Stablecoins, known for their stability by being pegged to assets like the US dollar, play a pivotal role in the DeFi ecosystem.
However, trading between different stablecoin pairs can sometimes be inefficient due to limited liquidity. To address this challenge, the auto-bridging feature dynamically finds the most efficient trading path, leveraging XRP or other assets as bridge currencies.
How Auto-bridging Works?
For instance, suppose a user intends to exchange a USD stablecoin for a EUR stablecoin, but there’s limited direct liquidity for this pair. Auto-bridging steps in to automatically identify the optimal trading route, potentially involving conversions from USD to XRP and then from XRP to EUR.
This innovative mechanism ensures that users can access liquidity from various markets, enhancing efficiency and enabling smoother transactions within the XRPL ecosystem.
This feature aligns seamlessly with the XRPL’s Automated Market Maker (AMM) function, recently introduced on the XRPL mainnet. The integration of AMM enables the creation of fresh trading offers compatible with auto-bridging, enhancing the feature’s ability to process trades efficiently.
