In a recent tweet, Ripple engineer Mayuka Vadali highlights the huge benefits of native multi-signature on Ripple. $XRP This is a smart contract with zero risk. Vadari added that there are literally no attack vectors for XRPL accounts, as multi-signatures are built directly into the protocol and not patched through third-party smart contracts.
Vadari was reacting to a recent report by Blockaid that detected an exploit targeting SquidRouterModule on the Ethereum and Base networks. The incident caused approximately $3 million worth of damage to 86 Gnosis safes in nearly two hours. All stolen tokens were swapped into DAI through an attacker-controlled Uniswap V3 pool.
Benefits of native multi-sign on XRPL: Zero risk for smart contracts.
Because MultiSign is built directly into the protocol rather than being patched through a third-party smart contract, this attack vector literally does not exist in your account.

In this scenario, the RippleX software engineer $XRP Ledger features native multi-signature that eliminates attack risk. Vadari adds, “This is why native functionality is important.”
In response to critics who claim that the Bitcoin ecosystem has many apps that support multi-signatures, whereas multi-signatures are virtually non-existent in the XRPL ecosystem, Vadari clarified the situation.
Vadari revealed that while many self-custody apps don’t support multi-sign features, many do (and are usually larger users of the feature anyway). She also highlighted the implementation, which is very different from Bitcoin, which essentially only had M-of-N support until Taproot in 2021. $XRP Ledger (XRPL) was launched in June 2016.
$XRP Explanation of multi-sign function
of $XRP Ledger supports native multi-sign schemes. multi signature $XRP A ledger is a means of approving transactions. $XRP Create a ledger by combining multiple private keys. You can enable any combination of authentication methods for user addresses, including multisignature, master key pair, and regular key pair. (The only requirement is that at least one method must be enabled.)
This has many advantages over schemes used by other ledgers. For example, you can change the signer or quorum without changing the receiving address. Individual signers can rotate their credentials without disrupting funds on the ledger.
