Ripple 正在通过新的侧链向 XRP 账本添加与以太坊兼容的智能合约

这将增强其超越简单交易的能力，以适应更复杂的应用程序，例如去中心化交易所和代币发行。

Ripple is adding a new sidechain to the XRP Ledger that will support Ethereum-compatible smart contracts. This will expand the capabilities of the XRP Ledger beyond simple transactions to include more complex applications like decentralized exchanges and token issuance.

Ripple 正在向 XRP Ledger 添加新的侧链，该侧链将支持与以太坊兼容的智能合约。这将扩展 XRP Ledger 的功能，超越简单的交易，包括更复杂的应用程序，例如去中心化交易所和代币发行。

The development also includes the use of the Axelar network for cross-chain token transfers to promote interoperability and developer involvement. Wrapped XRP, or eXRP, will serve as the native currency on this sidechain.

该开发还包括使用 Axelar 网络进行跨链代币传输，以促进互操作性和开发人员参与。打包的 XRP（或 eXRP）将作为该侧链上的原生货币。

In a move that is bound to garner mixed reactions from the XRP coin’s community, Ripple is set to introduce sidechain networks that will bring support for Ethereum-compatible smart contracts to the XRP Ledger.

Ripple 将推出侧链网络，为 XRP Ledger 带来对以太坊兼容智能合约的支持，此举势必会引起 XRP 币社区的不同反应。

The CEO addressed the varying reactions from members of the digital asset community to Ripple's announcement of another change in customization for the ‘builders, entrepreneurs and users’ in the X post by integrating smart contract capability into the XRP ledger.

这位首席执行官在 X 帖子中谈到了数字资产社区成员对 Ripple 宣布的另一项定制变化的不同反应，即通过将智能合约功能集成到 XRP 分类账中来为“构建者、企业家和用户”进行定制。

This led to a discussion on the platform about whether Ripple is the only driving force in the XRP ecosystem and whether the community will have a say in the matter. Schwartz stated that Ripple's plan is to keep the XRP Ledger the same.

这引发了平台上关于Ripple是否是XRP生态系统的唯一推动力以及社区是否会在此事上拥有发言权的讨论。 Schwartz 表示 Ripple 的计划是保持 XRP Ledger 不变。

Smart contracts are programs that automate the processes needed in a blockchain transaction to enable functionality beyond simple transactions, like token issuance, trade processing, and the creation of decentralized exchanges and financial apps.

智能合约是自动化区块链交易所需流程的程序，以实现简单交易之外的功能，例如代币发行、交易处理以及去中心化交易所和金融应用程序的创建。

“Progress towards smart contract functionality is already underway in the XRP Ledger ecosystem with the XRPL EVM sidechain,” Ripple said in a statement on Monday, adding:

Ripple 在周一的一份声明中表示：“XRP Ledger 生态系统中的 XRPL EVM 侧链已经在智能合约功能方面取得进展，”并补充道：

“This sidechain will add EVM compatibility to the XRP community, where developers can use the existing tools and coding languages to expand the appeal of the XRP Ledger to developers across the world.”

“该侧链将为 XRP 社区添加 EVM 兼容性，开发人员可以使用现有的工具和编码语言来扩大 XRP Ledger 对世界各地开发人员的吸引力。”

The XRP Ledger is a public blockchain platform that uses XRP tokens to power financial transactions. In 022, testing of the smart contract deployment powered by Ethereum on the XRPL was already possible.

XRP Ledger 是一个公共区块链平台，使用 XRP 代币来支持金融交易。 022 年，在 XRPL 上测试以太坊支持的智能合约部署已经成为可能。

The Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a tool that handles the execution of smart contracts on the Ethereum platform. A sidechain is an additional blockchain that is built alongside the main chain, in this case, the XRP ledger.

以太坊虚拟机（EVM）是一个处理以太坊平台上智能合约执行的工具。侧链是与主链一起构建的附加区块链，在本例中是 XRP 分类账。

Enhancing the Network's Programmability

增强网络的可编程性

With the introduction of native smart contract capabilities on the XRP Ledger (currently in the research phase) and the upcoming debut of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain (expected to go live in the next few months), Ripple is set to enhance the programmability of the blockchain network.

随着 XRP Ledger 上原生智能合约功能的引入（目前处于研究阶段）以及以太坊虚拟机（EVM）侧链即将推出（预计在未来几个月内上线），Ripple 将增强区块链网络的可编程性。

According to Ripple CTO, instead of presenting a “fully baked” proposal to the crypto industry and the XRP community, Ripple has been transparent with its plans. The American fintech firm aims to remain transparent and inform its community and shareholders where it plans to allocate resources and has also outlined its priorities.

Ripple 首席技术官表示，Ripple 并未向加密货币行业和 XRP 社区提出“完全成熟”的提案，而是对其计划保持透明。这家美国金融科技公司的目标是保持透明度，向社区和股东通报其计划分配资源的情况，并概述了其优先事项。

Schwartz explained the abrupt shift in the company's goals, stating that Ripple initially thought that XRPL would be drastically changed by the main net's ability to be programmed. As a result, the business had to develop the EVM sidechain.

Schwartz 解释了公司目标的突然转变，表示 Ripple 最初认为 XRPL 将因主网的编程能力而发生巨大改变。因此，企业必须开发 EVM 侧链。

However, after hearing from several people and receiving feedback from the crypto industry, Schwartz concluded that “programmability makes sense for Mainnet much earlier.

然而，在听取了一些人的意见并收到了加密货币行业的反馈后，施瓦茨得出结论：“可编程性对于主网来说很早就有意义。
