The new XRPL EVM Sidechain allows developers to build and deploy Ethereum-compatible decentralized applications (dApps) directly within the XRP ecosystem, offering full support for tools like Solidity and the Ethereum toolchain. This development creates opportunities for a broader range of use cases including tokenization, decentralized finance (DeFi), and cross-chain payments \u2014 all while benefiting from XRPL\u2019s fast and cost-effective infrastructure.<\/p>\n

A Technical Collaboration to Enhance Interoperability<\/h2>\n

The sidechain was built through a joint effort by Ripple, blockchain infrastructure firm Peersyst, and cross-chain protocol Axelar. Based on Evmos\u2019 software framework, the XRPL EVM operates as a parallel blockchain \u2014 connected to the XRP Ledger mainnet through Axelar\u2019s bridging system. Wrapped XRP serves as the gas token for the network, enabling seamless transfers between the XRPL and EVM environments.<\/p>\n

Ripple CTO and XRPL co-creator David Schwartz highlighted the strategic advantage of this architecture, saying the integration allows developers to explore programmable smart contracts while preserving the speed and reliability of the core XRP Ledger.<\/p>\n

Peersyst: \u201cDay 1 of a Bigger Journey\u201d<\/h2>\n

Peersyst founder and CEO Ferran Prat described the launch as a transformative step for XRP. \u201cThis is the beginning of a larger path toward multichain interoperability and scalable utility,\u201d he said. Prat emphasized that the new sidechain positions XRP to operate more freely across the broader Web3 ecosystem.<\/p>\n
