XRPL Commons Hosts 36-Hour NYC Hackathon on On-Chain Lending and AI Payments

  • —More than 400 builders registered for the 36-hour hackathon on October 24–25
  • —Over $40,000 in prizes, including bounties from Mastercard, Ledger, QuickNode and AWS
  • —Core tracks cover lending via XLS-66/XLS-65 and AI payment agents
  • —Only 7–12% of $46.2 billion in tokenized assets is used in DeFi
Why it matters: The hackathon will stress-test XLS-66 and XLS-65 amendments before they reach the XRPL mainnet.
