Ripple（XRP）Labs啟動新的以太坊虛擬機（EVM） - XRP LEDGER（XRPL）的Sidechain（XRPL）

Ripple將在Q2 2025結束時為XRP Ledger（XRPL）啟動新的以太坊虛擬機（EVM）兼容的Sidechain。

The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible sidechain for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is set to launch by the end of Q2 2025, confirmed Ripple Chief Technology Officer (CTO) David Schwartz at Apex 2025 in Singapore.

XRP Ledger（XRPL）的以太坊虛擬機（EVM）兼容的Sidechain設置為第二季度2025年末，確認在新加坡的Apex 2025的Ripple首席技術官David Schwartz確認。

Currently live on testnet, the sidechain is undergoing validator onboarding and technical checks before deploying to mainnet.

目前在Testnet上直播，Sidechain正在部署到Mainnet之前正在進行驗證器和技術檢查。

Developed in collaboration with Peersyst, the chain uses the evmOS software stack and will be connected to XRPL via a bridge provided by Axelar. As the native gas token on the new chain, Wrapped XRP (WXRP) will serve as a key component.

該鏈條與PeerSyst合作開發，使用EVMOS軟件堆棧，並將通過Axelar提供的橋樑連接到XRPL。作為新鏈上的本地氣體令牌，包裝XRP（WXRP）將作為關鍵組件。

More Than 1,000 Smart Contracts Already Deployed on Testnet

已經部署了1,000多個智能合約

Since its launch, the EVM sidechain has seen the deployment of more than 1,000 smart contracts on its testnet. This places it in direct competition with other EVM-compatible platforms that have already established large developer ecosystems.

自推出以來，EVM Sidechain已經在其測試網上部署了1,000多個智能合約。這使其與已經建立了大型開發人員生態系統的其他兼容EVM兼容平台直接競爭。

For instance, BNB Chain currently supports more than 3,000 decentralized applications and is known for offering low transaction fees, usually remaining below $0.30. Meanwhile, Avalanche provides fast finality, executing transactions in less than two seconds, and supports customizable subnets tailored for institutional use.

例如，BNB連鎖店目前支持3,000多個分散申請，並以低交易費用而聞名，通常剩餘低於$ 0.30。同時，Avalanche提供了快速的終結性，在不到兩秒鐘內執行交易，並支持適合機構使用的可自定義子網。

Polygon, a Layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, boasts widespread adoption thanks to its minimal fees and compatibility with leading DeFi protocols like Aave and Uniswap.

Polygon是一種用於以太坊的2層縮放解決方案，由於其最低的費用和與AAVE和UNISWAP（例如AAVE和UNISWAP）的兼容性最低，並且具有廣泛的採用。

In contrast to these existing platforms, Ripple's approach presents Ethereum compatibility within the XRP environment. By integrating Solidity-based smart contracts without abandoning its core network, Ripple is attempting to showcase XRPL as a hybrid that could attract developers seeking lower fees and faster execution while still being able to utilize familiar Ethereum tools and protocols.

與這些現有平台相反，Ripple的方法在XRP環境中提出了以太坊的兼容性。通過整合基於堅固的智能合約而不放棄其核心網絡，Ripple試圖展示XRPL作為一種混合動力，可以吸引開發人員尋求較低的費用和更快的執行，同時仍然能夠利用熟悉的以太坊工具和協議。

The EVM sidechain is part of a broader expansion strategy by Ripple. In recent months, the XRP Ledger has seen the addition of EURØP, a MiCA-compliant euro stablecoin backed by Societe Generale, and USDB, a bond-backed stablecoin from Brazil's Braza Group.

EVM Sidechain是Ripple更廣泛擴展策略的一部分。近幾個月來，XRP Ledger看到了Eurøp，這是由Societe Generale支持的符合雲母的歐元stablecoin，以及來自巴西Braza Group的債券支持的Stablecoin USDB。

In a separate development, Zeconomy issued digital commercial paper (DCP) on XRPL, marking the launch of the first institutional-grade financial product on the network.

在另一項開發中，Zecomony在XRPL上發布了數字商業票據（DCP），標誌著網絡上首批機構級金融產品的推出。

However, despite the technological advancements, Ripple continues to face criticism over its perceived alignment with centralized financial systems.

然而，儘管有技術的進步，但Ripple仍在對其與集中財務系統的一致性保持批評。

Venture capitalist Gary Cardone recently slammed the project, accusing it of positioning itself as a tool for central banks. This follows recent speculation that the European Central Bank (ECB) may be considering using XRP Ledger for its digital euro framework.

風險資本家加里·卡通（Gary Cardone）最近猛烈抨擊該項目，指責其將自己定位為中央銀行的工具。這之後猜測，歐洲中央銀行（ECB）可能正在考慮將XRP Ledger用於數字歐元框架。

Comparing XRP's growing institutional influence to a “financial virus,” Cardone claimed that the adoption of the token supports authoritarian financial controls. He criticized the project's vision, stating that it "aims to create a programmable, controllable financial system to be deployed on a global scale."

將XRP不斷增長的機構影響與“金融病毒”進行比較，Cardone聲稱，令牌的採用支持專制的金融控制。他批評該項目的願景，並指出，“旨在創建一個可編程，可控制的金融體系，以在全球範圍內部署”。
