Hi. I wrote a brief proposal on adding Automated Market Makers on the XRPL as an alternative mechanism to the DEX to realize the vision of democratized global liquidity pools.
I would love to hear your feedback!

@LeoHadjiloizou@Ripple I think causality goes the other way, e.g. price appreciates, XRP gets attention (including negative one). At least there appears to be a sligjt delay in the "... scam" trends compared to the price.
@LynAldenContact Blockchain Proof of Recording - Cameras should use blockchain to store hashes of the video frames during recording, which would allow later demonstrating provenance and chain of custody (in case of further edits and processing).
@galgitron @BGrinny911 The time scale is also important. It's like saying "the thermodynamic heat death of the universe" is inevitable, Good luck waiting for it, though...
@galgitron @BGrinny911 This is the part I can agree with for sure. I am not sure, however, how to transition from the current state to that state. Sometimes in dynamic systems you need a complete "crash" to reach a different steady state. On the contrary, I see 99 ways this could go wrong, i.e. worse.
As happens in one’s life, I’ve been taking stock of my last 40 years. It’s been a wild ride. I’ve gone from consulting for the NSA to watching the early stages of Bitcoin. Then, I met Arthur, Jed, and Chris and worked on coding the XRP Ledger. Now, I’ve spent more than 13 years at Ripple.
I can’t begin to explain the depth of my gratitude to this company, the people who work here, and the community that surrounds XRPL. It’s been one of the greatest honors and experiences of my life, second only to my amazing family.
The time has come for me to step back from my day-to-day duties as Ripple CTO at the end of this year. I’m really looking forward to spending more time with the kids and grandkids and going back to the hobbies I set aside. But be warned, I’m not going away from the XRP community. You haven’t seen the last of me (now, or ever).
The last few months I’ve been tinkering on the side – spinning up my own XRPL node and publishing its output data, researching other use cases for XRP (besides what Ripple is focused on), and more. I truly enjoy this part — getting my hands dirty, talking to builders, coding for the pure love of it — and I’m really excited to get back to that. More to come on this very soon, I’m sure.
But back to gratitude — to Brad and Monica — leaders who have been here nearly as long as I have, and are the very soul of Ripple itself. To Chris, who took a huge leap of faith and never wavered. To Arthur, who had the big ideas every time we needed them. To the RippleX team, ledger developers, community members, builders, and everyone else — it’s been an honor being in the trenches with you all. Thank you for everything you have done for the XRPL. I have total confidence in the next generation of leaders and builders – including Dennis Jarosch (Ripple’s SVP of Engineering) – and far too many others to name in the XRP community who will carry the torch.
I’ll still be in and out of the Ripple office as CTO Emeritus, and as my last task at Ripple, Chris asked me to join Ripple's Board of Directors to continue supporting the company’s mission and long-term vision...and I accept!
I look forward to seeing the rest of you at XRP community events around the world.

~40% of daily code written at Coinbase is AI-generated. I want to get it to >50% by October.
Obviously it needs to be reviewed and understood, and not all areas of the business can use AI-generated code. But we should be using it responsibly as much as we possibly can.
@USMortality They are invalid INDEX numbers. You are publishing a misleading index, which will only get more misleading as the years go on under this method.
@BuildOnStellar "Actually decentralized" 🙄
Because Stellar, the XRPL fork, with less than 200 nodes that needs extra interfaces to have Soroban interact with native L1 transactors is "Actually decentralized".
@NTFabiano Alternative explanation*:
- parents with higher IQ have less children on average and IQ is partially hereditary
- IQ is slightly impacted by parent age
* didnt't read the study yet, just my first thought seeing the pictures.
