Decentralized Layer 1 Blockchain XRP Ledger’s (XRPL) Sidechain compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is set to live in the second quarter, Jaazi Cooper, director of product management in Ripple, said Ripple’s chief technology officer of Ripple technology at the ongoing apex 2025 Conference in Singapore.
EVM compatibility determines blockchain’s ability to run decentralized Ethereum -based applications and intelligent contracts seamlessly.
The XRPL EVM Sidechain Testnet has been live early this year and is experiencing rapid growth, according to Peersyst Technologies.
“87 new entities – with no prior XRP involvement – now contributing to the ecosystem: infrastructure, apps, and generation of demand,” Peersyst told XRP ecosystem – when the mainnet is alive, it all becomes part of the XRP ecosystem – probably the biggest onboarding in XRP history. “
EVM Sidechain will allow users to potentially produce yield through defi applications, such as pools, and intelligence contracts.
