XRPL Smart Contracts - Ripple’s Enterprise Automation & Supply Chain Leap

Most people hear “smart contracts” and think of experimental code, DeFi exploits, and systems that work until they suddenly don’t. But institutions don’t need expressive code — they need certainty. In this episode, we explore how the XRP Ledger approaches automation differently, using deterministic settlement, conditional execution, and compliance-ready design to enable real enterprise workflows without introducing smart-contract risk.

This is not a story about hype or dApps. It’s about how regulated finance actually automates money: trade finance, supply chains, treasury operations, and machine-driven settlement. By reframing smart contracts through an institutional lens, this video explains why XRPL’s architecture may be better suited for real-world automation than most general-purpose blockchains — and why that matters now.
