Xahau, the programmable sidechain of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), has introduced the much-awaited REMIT amendment. This new upgrade brings several benefits, including a unique payment transactor for Xahau sidechain users.

With the REMIT amendment in place, customers of Xahau sidechain can now efficiently send value over the chain using the payment transactor. This upgrade also allows for the extension of the XLS-55d proposal from XRPL to Xahau.

The introduction of the XLS-55d proposal for Xahau comes after its implementation on XRPL in December 2023, marking a significant development for the Xahau sidechain. This upgrade enables the seamless transfer of different currencies and tokens atomically to a predetermined destination, resembling a push payment that is guaranteed to be delivered.

Moreover, the REMIT amendment can cater to retail and Hooks use cases, providing users with the flexibility to customize their REMIT transactions by adjusting their on-chain accounts.

Apart from these new features, the REMIT amendment opens up a host of opportunities for both the XRP Ledger and the Xahau sidechain. Issuers can now transfer XRP and tokenized vouchers in a single atomic transaction, enhancing the functionality of the sidechain.

Since its launch on the mainnet six months ago, Xahau has undergone various improvements, including a comprehensive audit of its codebase conducted by FYEO. The integration of XRPScan as the first API and Explorer service provider for Xahau Sidechain further strengthened the network. The recent implementation of the REMIT amendment resulted in a price increase for XAH, Xahau's core asset, on the Bitrue crypto exchange.

Overall, the addition of these new features on the Xahau sidechain is aimed at boosting the retail adoption of XRPL.
