經過多年的測試，XRP Ledger最終將啟動其以太坊虛擬機器兼容的Sidechain

該開發項目旨在通過解決DEFI的可編程性中所謂的限制，將XRP的實用程序擴展到其傳統的支付角色之外。

The XRP Ledger will finally launch its Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible sidechain in the second quarter of 2025, after years of testing.

經過多年的測試，XRP Ledger最終將在2025年第二季度推出其以太坊虛擬機器兼容的Sidechain。

The development, which integrates Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities into the XRPL ecosystem, was confirmed by Ripple Chief Technology Officer David remarked at the Apex 2025 event. It aims to expand XRP’s utility beyond its traditional payment role and address alleged limitations in DeFi’s programmability.

Ripple首席技術官David在APEX 2025活動中說，該開發項目將以太坊的智能合同功能整合到XRPL生態系統中。它旨在將XRP的效用擴展到其傳統的付款角色之外，並在Defi的可編程性中提出所謂的限制。

A joint effort by Ripple and Peersyst Technology, the sidechain provides full EVM compatibility, enabling developers to deploy applications using established Ethereum tools like Solidity, MetaMask, and Truffle. Transactions on the network will utilize wXRP as the native gas token.

Sidechain是Ripple和Peersyst技術的共同努力，提供了完整的EVM兼容性，使開發人員能夠使用既定的以太坊工具（如堅固，MetAmask和Truffle）部署應用程序。網絡上的交易將利用WXRP作為天然氣體令牌。

How the sidechain works

Sidechain的工作方式

The Axelar network will serve as the exclusive bridge for transferring assets, including the XRP needed to create wXRP, between the XRPL mainnet and the new EVM sidechain. The architecture also connects XRPL to the more than 69 other blockchain ecosystems supported by Axelar.

Axelar網絡將用作傳輸資產的獨家橋樑，包括在XRPL Mainnet和新的EVM Sidechain之間創建WXRP所需的XRP。該體系結構還將XRPL連接到Axelar支持的其他69個其他區塊鏈生態系統。

The sidechain will operate on a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus mechanism, selected for its performance and efficiency. It is designed to achieve over 1,000 transactions per second and transaction costs below $0.01.

SideChain將以授權和效率為由選擇的授權證明（POA）共識機制運​​作。它旨在實現每秒1,000多筆交易，交易成本低於$ 0.01。

To ensure network integrity, the sidechain’s code underwent a security audit by Informal Systems in February 2025. The audit identified and led to the resolution of one critical issue related to a Cosmos SDK module, with other findings being of low risk.

為了確保網絡完整性，SideChain的代碼在2025年2月進行了非正式系統的安全審核。審核已確定並導致解決了與Cosmos SDK模塊有關的一個關鍵問題，而其他發現則具有低風險。

This initiative is a strategic effort to attract developers from the larger EVM ecosystem and provide new avenues for applications on the XRP Ledger. By lowering the barrier to entry, the sidechain may foster a more diverse application environment for XRPL’s user base, which holds over six million wallets.

該計劃是一項戰略努力，旨在吸引較大的EVM生態系統的開發人員，並為XRP分類帳中的應用提供新的途徑。通過降低進入進入障礙，Sidechain可能會為XRPL的用戶群提供更多樣化的應用環境，該環境容納超過600萬錢包。

The use of wXRP for transaction fees introduces a new demand mechanism for the XRP token, tying its utility directly to the activity level on the EVM sidechain. This could extend its tokenomics beyond its primary function in facilitating cross-border settlements.

使用WXRP進行交易費用引入了XRP令牌的新需求機制，將其效用直接與EVM Sidechain上的活動水平聯繫在一起。這可以擴展其代幣學在促進跨境定居點方面的主要功能之外。

Activity on the sidechain’s testnet suggests initial interest from developers. According to a post from Peersyst, projects including Strobe Finance, Vertex Protocol, and Secured Labs are already building applications.

Sidechain測試網的活動表明了開發人員的初步興趣。根據PeerSyst的一篇文章，包括頻場金融，頂點協議和安全實驗室在內的項目已經在構建應用程序。

The firm also reported that 87 new entities with no prior involvement in the XRP ecosystem are now contributing on the testnet, suggesting the potential for broad ecosystem growth upon the mainnet’s release.

該公司還報告說，現在沒有事先參與XRP生態系統的87個新實體正在為TestNet做出貢獻，這表明Mainnet發布後具有廣泛的生態系統增長的潛力。

As a sidechain, these new capabilities are being added without altering the XRPL mainnet’s core protocol, which remains optimized for payments. The mainnet launch of the XRPL EVM Sidechain is set to proceed in the second quarter of 2025.

作為Sidechain，正在添加這些新功能，而不會更改XRPL Mainnet的核心協議，該協議仍在優化付款方面。 XRPL EVM Sidechain的主網發布定於2025年第二季度進行。
