The XRP Ledger will soon support Ethereum smart contracts through a new EVM-compatible sidechain.
The XRP Ledger will gain support for Ethereum smart contracts through a new EVM-compatible sidechain, set to launch in the second quarter of 2025.
An update by Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, at the Apex 2025 summit in Singapore, confirmed the launch window.
This sidechain aims to combine the efficient transaction model of the XRP Ledger with the versatile contract functionality that Ethereum is known for.
Developed using evmOS software and a collaboration between Ripple and Peersyst, the sidechain will operate parallel to the XRP Ledger, expanding its capabilities without affecting the speed or cost-efficiency of the main chain.
Currently in the testing phase on testnet, the sidechain is undergoing final validations ahead of its second-quarter deployment to mainnet.
Mainnet launch will depend on successful testnet trials and a smooth coordination process with validators. Developers are aiming for full deployment once system performance and security reach optimal benchmarks.
This sidechain will allow Ethereum developers to easily transfer their projects and applications to the XRP Ledger, marking a significant technical advancement for the platform.
