经过多年的测试，XRP Ledger最终将启动其以太坊虚拟机器兼容的Sidechain

该开发项目旨在通过解决DEFI的可编程性中所谓的限制，将XRP的实用程序扩展到其传统的支付角色之外。

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

经过多年的测试，XRP Ledger最终将在2025年第二季度推出其以太坊虚拟机器兼容的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首席技术官David在APEX 2025活动中说，该开发项目将以太坊的智能合同功能整合到XRPL生态系统中。它旨在将XRP的效用扩展到其传统的付款角色之外，并在Defi的可编程性中提出所谓的限制。

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技术的共同努力，提供了完整的EVM兼容性，使开发人员能够使用既定的以太坊工具（如坚固，MetAmask和Truffle）部署应用程序。网络上的交易将利用WXRP作为天然气体令牌。

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网络将用作传输资产的独家桥梁，包括在XRPL Mainnet和新的EVM Sidechain之间创建WXRP所需的XRP。该体系结构还将XRPL连接到Axelar支持的其他69个其他区块链生态系统。

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将以授权和效率为由选择的授权证明（POA）共识机制运作。它旨在实现每秒1,000多笔交易，交易成本低于$ 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.

为了确保网络完整性，SideChain的代码在2025年2月进行了非正式系统的安全审核。审核已确定并导致解决了与Cosmos SDK模块有关的一个关键问题，而其他发现则具有低风险。

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.

该计划是一项战略努力，旨在吸引较大的EVM生态系统的开发人员，并为XRP分类帐中的应用提供新的途径。通过降低进入进入障碍，Sidechain可能会为XRPL的用户群提供更多样化的应用环境，该环境容纳超过600万钱包。

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进行交易费用引入了XRP令牌的新需求机制，将其效用直接与EVM Sidechain上的活动水平联系在一起。这可以扩展其代币学在促进跨境定居点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测试网的活动表明了开发人员的初步兴趣。根据PeerSyst的一篇文章，包括频场金融，顶点协议和安全实验室在内的项目已经在构建应用程序。

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.

该公司还报告说，现在没有事先参与XRP生态系统的87个新实体正在为TestNet做出贡献，这表明Mainnet发布后具有广泛的生态系统增长的潜力。

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.

作为Sidechain，正在添加这些新功能，而不会更改XRPL Mainnet的核心协议，该协议仍在优化付款方面。 XRPL EVM Sidechain的主网发布定于2025年第二季度进行。
