The XRP Ledger ecosystem has taken a significant step forward by officially launching support for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). Developed through a collaboration between Ripple, Peersyst, and Axelar, this project combines the low-cost transaction infrastructure of the XRP Ledger with the smart contract capabilities of Ethereum. This integration creates a hybrid platform that is optimized for applications such as lending, tokenization, and payments. The XRPL EVM sidechain maintains the efficiency of the XRP Ledger while providing developers with a flexible environment. This development marks a new era for XRP, and the first step in a much larger journey towards multi-chain interoperability, programmability, and scalability.
