XRPL has had a native decentralized exchange (DEX) with order books since 2012 — predating Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem. The 2024 AMM amendment adds Uniswap-style constant product pools, making XRPL one of the most versatile DeFi-capable base layers in existence, without the gas fees of Ethereum.
XRPL's Unique Hybrid: Order Book + AMM
XRPL's Unique Hybrid: Order Book + AMM
XRPL's AMM implementation is unique: rather than replacing the existing order book, it runs alongside it. When a trade is executed, the XRPL protocol automatically routes through whichever source (order book or AMM pool) provides the best price — or splits the order between both for optimal execution.
This hybrid architecture means XRPL offers better capital efficiency than pure AMMs like Uniswap v2, and better liquidity depth for long-tail assets than pure order book exchanges. The combination is genuinely novel — no other major blockchain offers both at the base layer.
