The XRPL AI Starter Kit gives developers tools for agent payments, but early x402 activity has clustered on Base and Solana. Ripple’s bet is that XRPL’s speed, low fees and RLUSD can win a piece of that flow.

A growing number of companies, including Ripple, want to create payment rails which would AI agents to execute transactions with limited human involvement.

Ripple deploys the x402 facilitator on XRPL, enabling AI agents to execute payments in XRP or RLUSD without API keys, accounts, or human involvement.
