XLS-66d native lending in validator voting

Lending on the XRP Ledger

Native lending is coming to the XRP Ledger via two amendments currently in validator voting. No smart contracts — the protocol itself will let you deposit XRP into a vault, have a "loan broker" lend it out against collateral, and earn yield. This page is built and ready; the broker table will switch to live data the moment the amendments activate.

The deposit primitive. A vault holds a single asset (e.g. XRP) deposited by many users, and is what loan brokers borrow from.
Both amendments must activate before native lending goes live. The public node exposes whether the network supports each amendment, but per-validator vote tallies are admin-only — for the live vote count check xrplf.org/amendment-tracker ↗.

How XRPL lending will work

Step 1
You deposit
You put XRP (or another supported asset) into a vault. The vault is a shared pool — your deposit sits alongside other lenders'.
Step 2
A broker lends it out
Loan brokers — likely regulated entities early on, though the protocol itself doesn't gate participation — take loans against collateral from the vault. They pay interest back to depositors.
Step 3
You earn yield
Interest flows back to the vault. You can withdraw your deposit plus accrued yield, subject to the broker's loan book staying healthy.
Risk reminder. Lending is not free yield. If a borrower defaults and collateral doesn't cover the loss, depositors absorb it. This is fundamentally different from AMM pools, which earn fees from trades.
