Developers Propose Cross-Chain Bridge for XRPL Network to Enhance Blockchain Interoperability

Software engineers and members of the development lab Ripplex want to create a cross-chain bridge for the XRPL network to bolster cross-chain transfers between different blockchain networks. According to a recent Github draft, the proposal outlines how the cross-chain bridge could function and suggests ways to prevent transaction replay.

Ripplex Dev Proposes XRPL Cross-Chain Bridge Technology

According to a recent draft submitted to Github, developers want to create a cross-chain bridge for the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The technology would allow cross-chain transfers and provide blockchain interoperability between XRPL and various networks. “In this proposal, a cross-chain transfer is not a single transaction,” the GitHub draft details. “It occurs on two chains, requires multiple transactions, and involves an additional server type called a ‘witness.’”

If a cross-chain bridge is implemented for XRPL, the blockchain will join numerous networks that leverage this technology, including Ethereum, Avalanche, Solana, Binance Smart Chain, and others. The proposed design by XRPL developers includes a new server type, three new ledger objects, and eight new transactions. The summary also describes a method to “prevent the same assets from being wrapped multiple times (prevent transaction replay).” Mayukha Vadari, a software engineer and Ripplex developer, shared the proposal on social media.

“We just published an official XRPL Standards spec for cross-chain bridges,” Vadari said. “Check it out and let me know if you have any thoughts.”

The cross-chain idea follows the push to create an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain in October that is compatible with the XRP Ledger and Ripple transaction protocol (RTXP). Currently, XRP, XRPL’s native cryptocurrency, is the sixth-largest digital currency by market capitalization. However, over the last seven days, it has lost 7.7% against the U.S. dollar.

Ripple Labs is also dealing with a legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and some suspect a settlement between the two parties is possible. XRP, a token issued in 2012, has been accused of being an unregistered security by the SEC. The U.S. regulator charged Ripple Labs in 2020, accusing the firm and executives of selling an unregistered security without permission from the SEC.

Analyst: ETH Not Ready for Bull Run till Huge Correction

Image
Benjamin Cowen, a cryptocurrency strategist, is bearish on Ethereum (ETH) because the second-largest digital asset has failed to climb back above a key resistance level. In a new video, Cowen tells his 785,000 YouTube subscribers that the price of Ethereum is likely to go down because there is a lot of “anxiety” around the $1,800 mark. Cowen says that there isn’t as much “apathy” in the market as there was during the bear season of 2019/2020. “There’s so much anxiety in this level [$1,800 resistance level] like I think it’s much more likely to break down eventually… I will be the first to admit it’s taking longer than I thought it would. But I also don’t really feel that same type of apathy in the market now that I did back in 2019 and 2020.” At the time of writing, one Ethereum is worth $1,736. Cowen says that less people would care about Ethereum if the price of the second most valuable cryptocurrency fell to triple digi...

Ben Armstrong argued that selling XRP is unwise due to perceived underperformance. He dismissed comparing XRP to Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX). Armstrong claimed XRP’s uptrend would commence in January, urging investors to pack their bags. In a recent YouTube video, crypto analyst Ben Armstrong argued that selling XRP is unwise due to perceived underperformance. While acknowledging XRP’s historical lackluster trend, he first addressed concerns related to XRP’s failure to sustain its bullish momentum following the victory from the legal dispute. Armstrong argued that broader market conditions suppressed further gains. Furthermore, he countered critical views about XRP’s failure to engineer a bullish trajectory like other rivals such as Solana (SOL) and Avalanche (AVAX), which have seen more than 100% gains.   He dismissed such comparisons and drew parallels to Ethereum’s delayed ascent in previous cycles. Moreover, he caution...
