A draft amendment to the XRP Ledger formally states that its transaction architecture inherently blocks flash loan attacks, which have caused billions in losses on platforms like Ethereum. Unlike Ethereum, XRP Ledger's transaction processing prevents borrowing and repaying loans within a single transaction block, making such exploits structurally impossible. This design advantage could attract DeFi developers seeking safer platforms, though the amendment still requires community approval. The move highlights a significant security edge amid growing concerns over DeFi vulnerabilities and regulatory scrutiny.
