Following the recent XRPL Zone conference in Paris, the XRP network has been upgraded with Boundless technology. This new technology uses zero-knowledge proofs to add a privacy feature to XRP Ledger tokens – meaning transactions can now be more private than before.
XRPL Commons and Boundless have announced that developers can now build private smart contracts and escrow accounts on the XRPL network.
How XRP Ledger is hiding transaction data with its new ZK-proof update
In the past, all transactions on the XRP Ledger were public, meaning anyone could view details like the amount sent, and the sender and receiver. While this level of transparency works for everyday users, it poses a challenge for larger businesses and banks, who need to keep financial details and balances confidential.

It’s now possible to send stablecoins like RLUSD with private transaction details, meaning the specifics aren’t publicly visible, but the network still confirms each transaction is legitimate.
XRPL is gaining on-chain privacy features thanks to Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) through a new project called Boundless, created by Boundless XYZ. You can find more details about this development from Odelia Torteman, Ripple, and RippleXDev.

A complete zkVM virtual machine is now available, enabling intricate calculations to happen outside the main XRP Ledger network. Only a concise cryptographic proof confirming the correct execution of these calculations is then sent to the ledger.
Even with increased privacy, this technology still allows for important checks like KYC and AML. For example, a bank can verify a user isn’t on any sanctions lists without sharing their personal information with everyone on the network.
The team is now said to be working on Smart Vaults, which will be the next stage of the upgrade.
This isn’t about replacing other networks; it’s a deliberate step to broaden what the XRPL blockchain can do. Now, it can handle situations where privacy is important – like transfers between banks or managing company finances – without making all the details public.
