Ripple Launches XRPL AI Starter Kit on June 10, Enabling XRP Payments for Autonomous Agents

According to Ripple, on June 10 the company launched the XRPL AI Starter Kit, providing developers with tools to create AI payment applications on the XRP Ledger with support for XRP and Ripple USD (RLUSD) transactions. The toolkit enables AI agents to autonomously pay for compute, access data, settle invoices, and complete transactions, with features including wallet creation, balance checking, payment sending, and transaction tracking.

The launch aligns with Mastercard's Agent Pay for Machines (AP4M) initiative, announced the same day with over 30 partners including RippleX, Coinbase, and Stripe. XRPL's deterministic finality, predictable costs, and 3-5 second settlement times position it as infrastructure for agent-to-agent payments at scale, according to J. Ayo Akinyele, head of engineering at RippleX.
