XRP Ledger developers test zero-XRP wallets for stablecoin payments
- —SponsoredAccountCreate creates an account without sending it any XRP
- —A sponsor covers the 1 XRP reserve instead of the user
- —The sponsorship amendment had 11 of 29 validator votes as of Oct. 19
- —Sponsors could also pay fees without controlling users' private keys
Why it matters: It lowers the barrier to stablecoin payments on XRP Ledger and RLUSD, though it hinges on validator approval.
