Toasted to a respectable shade. No regrets, no crumbs left.
Summary
Ripple has launched the XRPL AI Starter Kit, a set of developer tools enabling AI agents to make payments on the XRP Ledger using XRP and RLUSD stablecoin. The kit includes MCP server integration, Claude skills for wallet management, and x402 payment support. However, early adoption of x402 payments has been concentrated on competing networks like Base and Solana, where USDC dominates. Ripple is betting on XRPL's speed, low fees, and RLUSD to capture a share of the growing AI-agent payment market.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledRipple is trying to put XRP and RLUSD into the market for AI-agent payments in an environment that is still mostly paying in the dollar-pegged USDC stablecoin.
The company introduced the XRPL AI Starter Kit earlier this week, a set of developer tools for building AI agents that can send payments on the XRP Ledger.
Ripple's bet is that XRPL's speed, low fees and RLUSD can win a piece of that flow.
