Once XRP Ledger begins supporting its native Automated Market Makers (AMMs), its first LP token will feature a number of interesting designs.
As the XRP Ledger moves closer to activating its native automated market makers, its enthusiasts are trying to predict the role and behavior of liquidity providers. Would they be interested in removing the LP token from the XRPL ecosystem?
XRP Ledger AMM: Do liquidity pools work with XRP and LP tokens?
Liquidity pools with XRP and LP reward tokens are “inevitable” on XRPL-based AMMs and will be “fascinating to watch.” A veteran XRP community activist known on X (formerly Twitter) as @WKahneman shared his thoughts on the future of the XRPL liquidity ecosystem.
Think about it again: XLS-30d AMM, it should pass. Liquidity pool tokens are defined as tokens on the ledger, so they can also be deposited into liquidity pools. However, since LP generates LPT, it effectively becomes inflationary. Will they include it in external exchanges?#XRP

He opined that Liquidity Pool Tokens (LPTs) will be “regular” tokens on the ledger, so they can also be injected into liquidity pools. Furthermore, since LPTs are generated by the activity of the liquidity pool, their supply becomes effectively inflationary.
Therefore, LP operators may be interested in transferring their rewards to “external” exchanges. At the same time, arbitrage slots require LPT and their tokens to be burned.
As a result, there may be conflicts of interest between different groups of liquidity ecosystem participants in the XRP Ledger community:
So arbitrageurs will want LP tokens and burn them to pay for slots, while people make profits by participating in the pool by selling LP tokens. It will be fascinating to see the inevitable LPT/XRP pool.
As U.Today previously reported, XRPL developers reported that extensive testing of the AMM mechanism for the blockchain has been completed.
The XLS-30d AMM proposal receives little support from the community
However, it remains to be seen whether the AMM proposal will find enough support in the XRPL community.
This change, which can be integrated into the Rippled v1.12.0 software build, received only one “yes” vote out of the 28 votes required for passage.
According to automated explorer XRPScan, Wave remains the only active validator supporting the proposal.
