Ripple’s developer arm RippleX released version 1.1 of the XRP Ledger AI Starter Kit on 15 September, adding support for two open standards that let artificial intelligence agents hold and spend XRP without custom key handling. The update makes the XRP Ledger a settlement rail for the Machine Payment Protocol, an HTTP-native payments standard co-authored by Tempo and Stripe, and brings the chain into the Open Wallet Standard, according to RippleX’s announcement.
