XRPL Sponsored Fees Amendment Passes Performance Tests, Deemed MainNet-Ready

The XLS-68 Sponsored Fees and Reserves amendment for the XRP Ledger allows one account to cover transaction fees and reserves on behalf of another without taking custody of funds, simplifying user onboarding for exchanges and wallets. It supports two modes — co-signed sponsorship and pre-funded sponsorship — and introduces two new transaction types, SponsorshipSet and SponsorshipTransfer. Performance testing on a private XRPL network included mixed-load simulations, stress tests at twice baseline capacity, five-hour endurance runs, and complex DEX pathfinding scenarios. Under peak stress conditions, the network sustained 450 TPS with a burst of 655 TPS, zero overvalidations, and a sponsorship transaction error rate below 0.23%. Developers concluded that XLS-68 introduces no measurable degradation to consensus performance and is ready for MainNet activation.
