Ripple said it has expanded the XRP Ledger developer toolkit to support the Machine Payments Protocol, a standard backed by Stripe and Tempo, along with the Open Wallet Standard. The update is aimed at developers building autonomous AI agents that need to make payments without human intervention. Under the new setup, those agents can use XRP or Ripple USD (RLUSD) to pay for digital services such as data and compute. Jazzi Cooper, Ripple’s head of developer relations, said on X that AI agent payments will run across multiple platforms and rails, and that Ripple wants XRP and RLUSD to become the default choice for developers. Ripple also pointed to recent activity on XRPL, saying the network has logged more than 1.2 million AI-related transactions. Separate data cited in the update showed that the XRPL decentralized exchange posted average trading volume of more than $400 million across the first three quarters of 2026, keeping it among the top 25 chains by DEX volume.
Ripple said it has expanded the XRP Ledger developer toolkit to support the Machine Payments Protocol, or MPP, from Stripe and Tempo, as well as the Open Wallet Standard.
MPP gives autonomous AI agents a way to make payments without human action, allowing them to pay for digital services including data and compute. The Open Wallet Standard adds a common interface for developers managing wallets across chains.
Toolkit update targets AI agents using XRP and RLUSD
Jazzi Cooper, Ripple’s head of developer relations, wrote on X that AI agent payments will be multi-platform and multi-rail. Ripple’s goal, Cooper said, is to make XRP and its U.S. dollar stablecoin RLUSD the first choice for developers.
With the updated toolkit, developers can build AI agents that make payments in XRP or RLUSD.
