Why XRPL EVM Sidechain?
The XRPL EVM was created to make it easier for people to use apps and services from different blockchains. It combines the speed, low cost, and eco-friendly features of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) with the ability to run apps and smart contracts originally designed for Ethereum. This means you can enjoy faster and cheaper transactions while still accessing popular blockchain apps and features in one seamless experience. It’s like bringing the best of two worlds together for smoother and more accessible blockchain use.

XRP Ledger Origin
In 2011, David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb, and Arthur Britto began developing the XRP Ledger. Inspired by Bitcoin, they set out to create a new and better way of transferring value without mining. Learn about its evolution from the original vision.
Pioneering Decentralized Exchange (DEX)
Launched in 2012, the XRP Ledger introduced the world's first DEX, which aggregates all liquidity into a single protocol for capital-efficient trading and asset tokenization. Its unique ability to find optimal trading paths sets it apart in the blockchain world.
Decade of Innovation and Security
For over a decade, the XRP Ledger has expanded its functionality, enabling tokenization, trading, escrow, and asset movement through API calls. It has processed over 2.8+ billion transactions with its unique Proof-of-Association protocol and a network of 100+ validators.
Embracing a Multi-Chain Future
With the XRPL EVM launch, native DEX, ultra-low transaction fees and a large pre-existing community of 5M+ wallet holders, the XRP Ledger aims to serve as a versatile multi-chain trading hub for any type of asset.
