#XRPLedger EVM Sidechain Mainnet Is Now Live!
Built in collaboration with @Peersyst and @Ripple @RippleXDev, the XRPL EVM Sidechain combines Ethereum compatibility with the speed, reliability, and liquidity of the XRP Ledger — giving developers a powerful new toolkit.
What’s Live:
• Full EVM compatibility (Solidity, MetaMask, Hardhat)
• Smart contract support for dApps
• $XRP as native gas
• 3.4s block time & 1,000 TPS
• 25+ validators under PoA consensus
• Direct bridge to XRPL via @Axelar
This is the first time #XRP can be used to power smart contracts natively — enabling cross-chain functionality and unlocking new DeFi, NFT, and gaming opportunities for the XRP ecosystem.
Why It Matters:
- Brings Ethereum programmability to a network with over 12 years of uptime, 6M+ wallets and native liquidity
- Built for compliance, enterprise-grade use and Web3 scalability
- Developers can now deploy EVM dApps, integrate XRP into their protocols, and reach a massive new user base.
