The Future of Programmability on XRP Ledger: Hooks and New Tokens

A recent discussion on the future of programmability on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) has revealed new proposals from Evernode co-founder Scott Chamberlain. This article examines the proposals and the reactions to them.

Evernode Proposal

Scott Chamberlain proposed a new approach involving the use of the Hooks system and a new token, Codii, to enhance transaction functionalities on XRPL. The goal is to allow smart contract execution while keeping costs manageable for users. Hooks is a flexible, low-cost system proven to support decentralized applications like Evernode. The system automates tasks such as registration, reputation scoring, and governance for network hosts, offering seamless transaction execution. Codii is a native token minted from locked XRP and burned for Hook-related fees, which aims to reduce the financial burden on users compared to directly burning XRP.

Ripple's Skepticism

Ripple CTO David Schwartz expressed skepticism about the need for such complexity. According to Schwartz, simply burning XRP for all transaction fees, as currently done, could streamline operations. He questioned the benefits of introducing Codii, pointing out that it adds burdens like managing two tokens and potential dilution losses for XRP holders. He stated: "This seems way overcomplicated for no benefit. What advantage does this have over just burning XRP for all transaction fees?"

Chamberlain's Response

Chamberlain defended his proposal, arguing that burning XRP for programmability would make smart contracts too expensive if XRP appreciates in value. He emphasized that Codii would offer a self-sustaining system where XRP holders could effectively cover Hook fees through inflationary balance adjustments. Despite Chamberlain's reasoning, Schwartz remained unconvinced, noting that any system imposing costs on users through token inflation risks complicating fee management without providing significant benefits. He also pointed out that burning XRP as the sole method for transaction funding keeps the system simple and accessible as XRP's value changes.

Discussions surrounding Chamberlain's proposals for enhancing programmability on the XRP Ledger reflect differing approaches to addressing this challenge. While some see new possibilities in these innovations, others believe simplicity and efficiency are more important.
