Ripple News: MPP AI kit as XRP Payment Demand Rises

Ripple brings news with updated XRPL AI Starter Kit to version 1.1, adding support for the Machine Payments Protocol, or MPP, a standard co-authored by Stripe and Tempo for software agents that pay for services without a checkout flow.

The release also adds Open Wallet Standard support, giving developers a common interface for managing wallets across multiple blockchains.Now, developers can build AI agents that pay for data, computing, and other online services using XRP or RLUSD, Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin.

That matters structurally more than commercially at this stage. The software remains in beta, and Ripple’s announcement names no commercial customers using the new MPP integration and discloses no payment volume for it.

XRP Ledger is now a supported in the Open WalletStandard, and a settlement option in @tempo and @stripe's Machine Payments Protocol via the new XRPL AI Starter Kit.Payments stream over native Payment Channels and settle in one transaction.Deterministic finality.
