In a latest post on X, Ripple revealed that it is introducing a new metadata standard for XRP ledger’s (XRPL) multipurpose tokens to make it easier to discover, rank, and integrate. Ripple aims to expand its institutional decentralized finance (DeFi) on the XRPL by 2025. 

The new metadata for multipurpose tokens (MPTs) aims to address the challenge that users and developers face. Currently, MPTs and XRPL rely on flexible metafield data, which is full of inconveniences, as stated by Ripple. The flexible metafield data lacks structured fields like a currency code, which led to difficulties in sorting, identifying, and comparing tokens. 

The new scheme proposed by Ripple aims to enhance the discoverability and rankability of MPTs, providing users and developers with a better experience. The outlined metadata standards by Ripple are: 

  • Ticker: Unique symbol representing the token for enhanced search and ranking. 
  • Name: Token’s full name for better recognition.
  • Description: The purpose of the token. 
  • Icon: URL image that visually represents the token for recognition. 
  • Classification: Classifying the asset — gaming, real estate, and decentralized finance. 
  • Legitimate Blockchain: The initiative could make XRPL more appealing to investors, who are actively searching for compliant and secure blockchain solutions. 
  • Transparent Transaction: The net metadata can help in tracking the origin of funds and verifying the authenticity of transactions, making the XRP ledger more user-friendly and transparent. 
  • Smoother Functionality: The new change also seeks to prevent difficulties arising from the free format, ensuring uniformity across different platforms. 
  • Adoption Advancement: With XRP Ledger’s enhanced capabilities, it will encourage potential competition with other platforms while increasing its adoption rate. 
  • Community Feedback: The proposed changes by Ripple will be open to community feedback to further develop the infrastructure. 

Final Thought

Ripple’s proposed new metadata standard aims to address all the difficulties users previously faced, along with preventing technical and practical issues encountered in the token market. With all the new elements, the regulatory compliance remains the focal point in the new standard, reflecting Ripple’s priority of ensuring legitimacy.
