Sponsored Fees AND Reserves

XRP Ledger developers are testing a new account-creation transaction that would let sponsors cover wallet reserve requirements instead of requiring users to hold XRP first. The change could support stablecoin-focused payment apps and automated AI-agent wallets, but it remains under review and still depends on validator approval for broader sponsorship rules.

The XRP Ledger’s expected xrpld 3.3.0 release will ask validators to review five proposed amendments, including revised versions of Batch and Permission Delegation. Both features were previously pulled after researchers identified flaws that could have enabled unauthorized transactions or fee draining.
