Ripple（XRP）Labs启动新的以太坊虚拟机（EVM） - XRP LEDGER（XRPL）的Sidechain（XRPL）

Ripple将在Q2 2025结束时为XRP Ledger（XRPL）启动新的以太坊虚拟机（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）的以太坊虚拟机（EVM）兼容的Sidechain设置为第二季度2025年末，确认在新加坡的Apex 2025的Ripple首席技术官David Schwartz确认。

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之前正在进行验证器和技术检查。

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.

该链条与PeerSyst合作开发，使用EVMOS软件堆栈，并将通过Axelar提供的桥梁连接到XRPL。作为新链上的本地气体令牌，包装XRP（WXRP）将作为关键组件。

More Than 1,000 Smart Contracts Already Deployed on Testnet

已经部署了1,000多个智能合约

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.

自推出以来，EVM Sidechain已经在其测试网上部署了1,000多个智能合约。这使其与已经建立了大型开发人员生态系统的其他兼容EVM兼容平台直接竞争。

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连锁店目前支持3,000多个分散申请，并以低交易费用而闻名，通常剩余低于$ 0.30。同时，Avalanche提供了快速的终结性，在不到两秒钟内执行交易，并支持适合机构使用的可自定义子网。

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是一种用于以太坊的2层缩放解决方案，由于其最低的费用和与AAVE和UNISWAP（例如AAVE和UNISWAP）的兼容性最低，并且具有广泛的采用。

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.

与这些现有平台相反，Ripple的方法在XRP环境中提出了以太坊的兼容性。通过整合基于坚固的智能合约而不放弃其核心网络，Ripple试图展示XRPL作为一种混合动力，可以吸引开发人员寻求较低的费用和更快的执行，同时仍然能够利用熟悉的以太坊工具和协议。

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更广泛扩展策略的一部分。近几个月来，XRP Ledger看到了Eurøp，这是由Societe Generale支持的符合云母的欧元stablecoin，以及来自巴西Braza Group的债券支持的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.

在另一项开发中，Zecomony在XRPL上发布了数字商业票据（DCP），标志着网络上首批机构级金融产品的推出。

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

然而，尽管有技术的进步，但Ripple仍在对其与集中财务系统的一致性保持批评。

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.

风险资本家加里·卡通（Gary Cardone）最近猛烈抨击该项目，指责其将自己定位为中央银行的工具。这之后猜测，欧洲中央银行（ECB）可能正在考虑将XRP Ledger用于数字欧元框架。

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."

将XRP不断增长的机构影响与“金融病毒”进行比较，Cardone声称，令牌的采用支持专制的金融控制。他批评该项目的愿景，并指出，“旨在创建一个可编程，可控制的金融体系，以在全球范围内部署”。
