👀 Congrats @angell_denis on your first XRPL feature amendment! For those who don't know what this is, it shows that the Batch amendment PR has been merged, which means that it'll be included in the next rippled release.

A short update before the holidays on how Ripple’s work on an XRPL programmability proposal is going: We are just about to wrap up the Discovery phase, doing deep dives into the different types of VMs that exist out there (especially in the blockchain sphere). Some of the smart contract systems we looked at: Hooks, EVM, MoveVM, Soroban, and several others. Currently, we have some (very early) draft specs. We’re working on getting feedback on those specs, both internally within Ripple and externally, to ensure we’re capturing everything before going public. Thank you to @WietseWind, @_tequ_, @zerpmon, @xrpcafe, @interc0der, @HammerToe, and many others for your invaluable input thus far. Stay tuned in the new year for more information (including some public specs)!
