Fundamental analysis: new smart contract functionality “Hooks” launched on XRP
The Ripple team tried to find new use cases for XRP and started partnering with Flare Networks to run Ethereum smart contracts on the XRP ledger. As a result, the interface has opened up new possibilities for finding new applications for XRP, prompting Wietse Wind to develop its own new smart contract feature with “Hooks”.

Hooks is one of the long-awaited additions to the XRP ledger that first offered proprietary smart contract functionality. Lead developer Wietse Wind tweeted that the code is accessible to anyone, allowing all node operators to use Hooks.
In addition to sharing code, Wind has also published a set of commands for Docker, an application that allows you to run software from code packages. The instructions were shared on Github, according to which developers must follow two essential steps.
The first step says that developers must use one node to view the logs and another to enter commands for executing smart contracts. Wind said new updates and adjustments will come and added that this will be a key feature group for smart contracts.
Additionally, Flare Finance’s DeFi protocol is expected to bring 6 different DeFi products to market, all based on XRP serving as a bridging currency. As a result, a multi-token ecosystem will be established that will allow users to use XRP in many different ways.
