XRP Holders Can Now Earn Yield Without Giving Up Keys

Flare Smart Accounts bring self-custodial XRP yield inside Xaman Wallet for the first time, via a single XRPL-signed transaction flow. No second wallet needed.

XRP holders now have something they have never had before. A way to earn yield while keeping their own keys. Not a bridge. Not a second wallet. Not a new recovery phrase.

Flare Networks built it. Xaman made it accessible. The product went live on February 26, 2026.

As @XamanWallet posted on X, the new xApp is called Flare XRPFi Yield. Built by @FlareNetworks, it sits directly inside Xaman. “$XRP yield. One wallet. One signing flow. Your keys. Your wallet in control,” the post read.

That sentence matters more than it sounds.

One Signing Flow. That’s the Whole Point.

Before this, getting yield on XRP through cross-chain protocols meant leaving the XRPL entirely. New wallet. New keys. Gas tokens. Bridging steps. Every additional step was another point of failure.

Flare Smart Accounts cut all of that out. According to the official Xaman blog post, the integration works by embedding intent data directly inside standard XRPL transactions. The user initiates an action in the xApp. Xaman shows the transaction clearly. The user reviews it and signs it. What happens after that, the cross-chain execution, the FXRP minting, and the vault allocation, runs on Flare’s infrastructure.

The signing stays on XRPL. The yield happens on Flare.

Robert Kiuru, COO of XRPL Labs, described the significance directly. In his words, paraphrased from the Xaman blog: this is the first time Xaman users can access XRP yield with full self-custody of their assets intact. Signing stays in Xaman. Custody stays with the user. That combination has not existed before on the XRP Ledger.

The Vault Behind the Integration

The xApp gives users access to the earnXRP vault. Upshift, a Flare ecosystem partner, built and operates it. Deposits go in through a single XRPL-signed transaction. No extra wallets. No additional key management on the user’s side.

Flare Smart Accounts handle the rest. FXRP minting, vault allocation, yield distribution, and redemption back to XRPL are all coordinated under the hood. Complex cross-chain operations are presented to the user as one clean signing screen.

More vault partners are expected to follow.

To access, users open Xaman, tap xApps, and find the Flare XRPFi Yield xApp. The direct link: xaman.app/detect/xapp:flare.yield.

Xaman’s role here is what it has always been. Presenting transaction data clearly. Letting users sign securely on the device. The execution lives with Flare. The interface lives with Xaman.

XRP Yield Is No Longer a Niche Category

Demand for yield on the XRP Ledger has been building. Vaults, lending protocols, structured positions. What was once a small corner of the XRPL is now one of its fastest-growing areas.

This integration sits at a different level, though. Self-custody preserved. Cross-chain execution is abstracted away. The architecture changes what self-custodial DeFi can look like for XRPL users.

The Xaman blog noted this fits a wider pattern already emerging across its xApp ecosystem. More teams are building products that use Xaman as the entry point for functionality that extends beyond the XRP Ledger. The Virtual Assets feature introduced in Xaman 5.0.0 was designed for exactly this kind of use case, surfacing third-party positions directly on the home screen.

One wallet. One view. One place where XRPL yield is converging.

Flare Smart Accounts, FAssets, and vault products are developed and operated by Flare and its respective partners. They are not controlled by XRPL Labs or Xaman. Interacting with DeFi protocols carries inherent risks, including smart contract vulnerabilities, cross-chain execution failures, and market volatility. Self-custody of keys does not remove protocol-level risk. Estimated returns are not guarantees.
