According to an update from Ripple, the long-awaited XRPL EVM Sidechain is now live on mainnet.
A few highlights of what this entails include:
- full EVM compatibility with Solidity, MetaMask, Hardhat, and more
- PoA consensus and more than 25 validators
- 3.4 seconds block time and over 1,000 TPS
- XRP as a native gas token
- Smart contract support via the Ethereum Virtual Machine
Speaking on the matter was David Schwartz, CTO at Ripple and the co-creator of the XRP Ledger, who said:
“The XRPL EVM Sidechain introduces a flexible environment for developers to deploy EVM-based applications, while maintaining a connection to the XRPL’s efficiency. It extends the capabilities of the ecosystem without changing the fundamentals that make the XRPL reliable.”
