A bridge connects two blockchains: a locking chain and an issuing
chain (also called a mainchain and a sidechain). Both are independent
ledgers, with their own validators and potentially their own custom
transactions. Importantly, there is a way to move assets from the
locking chain to the issuing chain and a way to return those assets from
the issuing chain back to the locking chain: the bridge. This key
operation is called a cross-chain transfer. A cross-chain transfer is
not a single transaction. It happens on two chains, requires multiple
transactions, and involves an additional server type called a "witness".
A bridge does not exchange assets between two ledgers. Instead, it locks
assets on one ledger (the "locking chain") and represents those assets
with wrapped assets on another chain (the "issuing chain"). A good model
to keep in mind is a box with an infinite supply of wrapped assets.
Putting an asset from the locking chain into the box will release a
wrapped asset onto the issuing chain. Putting a wrapped asset from the
issuing chain back into the box will release one of the existing locking
chain assets back onto the locking chain. There is no other way to get
assets into or out of the box. Note that there is no way for the box to
"run out of" wrapped assets - it has an infinite supply.

- Verify "check", used to retrieve a Check object, is a string.
- Verify "nft_page", used to retrieve an NFT Page, is a string.
- Verify "index", used to retrieve any type of ledger object by its
unique ID, is a string.
- Verify "directory", used to retrieve a DirectoryNode, is a string or
an object.
This change only impacts api_version 2 since it is a breaking change.
https://xrpl.org/ledger_entry.htmlFix#4550
Add AMM functionality:
- InstanceCreate
- Deposit
- Withdraw
- Governance
- Auctioning
- payment engine integration
To support this functionality, add:
- New RPC method, `amm_info`, to fetch pool and LPT balances
- AMM Root Account
- trust line for each IOU AMM token
- trust line to track Liquidity Provider Tokens (LPT)
- `ltAMM` object
The `ltAMM` object tracks:
- fee votes
- auction slot bids
- AMM tokens pair
- total outstanding tokens balance
- `AMMID` to AMM `RootAccountID` mapping
Add new classes to facilitate AMM integration into the payment engine.
`BookStep` uses these classes to infer if AMM liquidity can be consumed.
The AMM formula implementation uses the new Number class added in #4192.
IOUAmount and STAmount use Number arithmetic.
Add AMM unit tests for all features.
AMM requires the following amendments:
- featureAMM
- fixUniversalNumber
- featureFlowCross
Notes:
- Current trading fee threshold is 1%
- AMM currency is generated by: 0x03 + 152 bits of sha256{cur1, cur2}
- Current max AMM Offers is 30

- Implement the `operator==` and the `operator<=>` (aka the spaceship
operator) in `base_uint`, `Issue`, and `Book`.
- C++20-compliant compilers automatically provide the remaining
comparison operators (e.g. `operator<`, `operator<=`, ...).
- Remove the function compare() because it is no longer needed.
- Maintain the same semantics as the existing code.
- Add some unit tests to gain further confidence.
- Fix#2525.
Source files are split to place all unit test code into translation
units ending in .test.cpp with no other business logic in the same file,
and in directories named "test".
A new target is added to the SConstruct, invoked by:
scons count
This prints the total number of source code lines occupied by unit tests,
in rippled specific code and excluding library subtrees.
Source files are moved between modules, includes changed and added,
and some code rewritten, with the goal of reducing cross-module dependencies
and eliminating cycles in the dependency graph of classes.
* Remove RippleAddress dependency in CKey_test
* ByteOrder.h, Blob.h, and strHex.h are moved to basics/. This makes
the basics/ module fully independent of other ripple sources.
* types/ is merged into protocol/. The protocol module now contains
all primitive types specific to the Ripple protocol.
* Move ErrorCodes to protocol/
* Move base_uint to basics/
* Move Base58 to crypto/
* Remove dependence on Serializer in GenerateDeterministicKey
* Eliminate unity header json.h
* Remove obsolete unity headers
* Remove unnecessary includes
