XRPL EVM Sidechain Launches: Ethereum Dapps Now Thrive in XRP Ecosystem

The XRP ecosystem just got a major power-up—Ethereum's playground is now open for business.

Breaking the chains

XRPL's new EVM-compatible sidechain smashes the barriers between Ripple and Ethereum ecosystems. Suddenly, thousands of Solidity devs can deploy on XRP Ledger without rewriting a single line of code.

Why this matters

DeFi degens can now ape into XRP-based yield farms using MetaMask. NFT traders get cross-chain arbitrage opportunities. And institutional players? They'll pretend to care about 'interoperability' while chasing the lowest transaction fees.

The cynical take

Another 'Ethereum killer' just became Ethereum's best friend—proving once again that in crypto, coopetition pays better than warfare. Watch the gas fee jokes disappear as XRP holders finally get to experience $200 NFT minting costs firsthand.
