The XRP Ledger has begun to allow AI agents to issue payments on its network following the recent launch of version v3.2.0, all thanks to Ripple's relentless push for autonomous XRP-based transactions.

Following the major upgrade, the XRP Ledger has rolled out support for X402-powered payments using XRP and Ripple's stablecoin, RLUSD.

Notably, this allows AI agents to settle transactions directly on-chain for APIs, compute services, and other digital resources without relying on any manual process.

This development marks a new milestone for the XRP ecosystem as it not only expands its use cases, but also positions the asset for stronger network performance, which could drive its price upward.

While the XRP community has been buzzing with excitement at the news of the upgrade, Ripple is looking to hire extra hands to help the company develop its agentic AI system.

Ripple to expand workforce

While the new feature on the XRP Ledger allows AI agents to make payments without any human interference, it appears that the move demands extra workforce to ensure the system runs smoothly.

Although the firm did not specify the reason it is planning to expand its workforce, Ripple revealed that it is looking to recruit a Staff Software Engineer for its GenAI Platform in San Francisco.

However, the move to hire a new engineer has come shortly after the XRP Ledger v3.2.0 upgrade went live. Meanwhile, the role requires the engineer to develop, advance, and deliver production-quality agentic AI systems.

Upon recruitment, the new staff will help Ripple build AI systems involving multi-agent orchestration, runtime environments, evaluation frameworks, security controls, and developer tooling, primarily to integrate artificial intelligence into XRP and RLUSD payments.
