Ripple\u2019s developer arm, RippleX, is pushing to make the XRP\u202fLedger\u2019s newest asset class\u2014Multi\u2011Purpose Tokens (MPTs)\u2014easier to recognize, sort and integrate across the ecosystem. In a thread posted on X late Tuesday, the team announced a draft standard, XLS\u20110089d, that would give every MPT a common set of on\u2011ledger metadata fields, from a ticker symbol and human\u2011readable name to a canonical icon URL and \u201casset_class\u201d taxonomy.<\/p>\n

\u201cMultipurpose Tokens (MPTs) unlock new flexibility on the XRP\u202fLedger, but they need structure to be useful across the ecosystem,\u201d RippleX wrote<\/a>. \u201cWe\u2019re proposing a recommended metadata standard to make MPTs easier to discover, rank, and integrate.<\/p>\n

Ripple Pushes Upgrade For Make Multi-Purpose Tokens<\/h2>\n

PTs were introduced last year via XLS\u201182d, which let issuers replace the familiar currency and issuer pair with a cryptographic mpt_issuance_id, opening the door to tokens whose meaning is defined entirely by an embedded JSON blob. That design choice gave builders unprecedented latitude\u2014for example, to mint wrapped assets<\/a>, gaming points or real\u2011world\u2011asset receipts\u2014yet it also broke many UX assumptions. Without a fixed currency code, wallets and block explorers struggle to display tokens consistently, and search engines cannot tell one issuance from another.<\/p>\n

RippleX\u2019s own description is blunt: MPTs \u201clack structured fields like a currency code. Instead, they rely on a free\u2011form metadata field, which makes them harder to identify or display in UIs.\u201d<\/p>\n

The proposal, authored by Ripple engineers Shawn\u202fXie, Greg\u202fTsipenyuk, Shashwat\u202fMittal, Julian\u202fBerridi and Dennis\u202fDawson, lays out a \u201cminimally standardized\u201d JSON schema: \u201cThis document proposes a minimally standardized metadata format for MPTs\u2026 The goal is not to restrict expressiveness, but to define a baseline set of fields that support reliable parsing and integration across services like block explorers, indexers, wallets, and cross\u2011chain applications.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under the draft, every token would carry required keys\u2014currency, name, asset_class\u2014and optional ones such as desc, icon, acct_name and an array of weblinks. A 1024\u2011byte limit keeps the payload on\u2011ledger, while an external URI can point to richer off\u2011chain data. The spec also classifies assets by purpose (rwa, defi, gaming, memes, wrapped, other) and, when applicable, by subclass (stablecoin<\/a>, commodity, equity, etc.), giving explorers a taxonomy for side\u2011by\u2011side ranking with traditional IOUs.<\/p>\n

Adherence will be voluntary, but RippleX plans to use soft pressure: \u201cSDKs (xrpl.js, xrpl\u2011py, xrpl4j) will display a warning if metadata is missing, so developers know their tokens may be harder to discover or integrate. Nothing will be blocked.\u201d<\/p>\n

In another tweet, the team underscored the payoff for early adopters: with the schema in place, \u201cMPTs [become] searchable by ticker\u2026 rankable alongside IOUs\u2026 usable in explorers, DEX UIs, [and] wallets\u2026 [and] easier to parse.<\/p>\n

\u201dFor token issuers, the proposal promises a clear path to visibility without forfeiting flexibility: the on\u2011ledger stub ensures a base level of trust and immutability, while richer data can live off\u2011chain and be updated if branding or compliance needs change. Wallet vendors, in turn, gain a predictable way to surface icons, tickers and risk labels; DEX interfaces can filter or sort order books by asset class; and indexers can rank MPTs against IOUs in liquidity tables or price feeds.<\/p>\n

For now, XLS\u20110089d is currently a draft in the XRPL\u2011Standards repository, open for public comment. Once feedback is incorporated, the amendment needs to pass the 80% threshold<\/a> to be activated. Given the Ledger\u2019s built\u2011in amendment process, no hard fork is required.<\/p>\n

At press time, XRP traded at $3.1497.<\/p>\n
