1/8 @peersyst built XPRL EVM, an Ethereum-compatible sidechain using $XRP as gas. It runs on Cosmos SDK, supports MetaMask, and brings together XRPL infrastructure, EVM dev tooling, and Cosmos IBC. A rare combo with sub-cent fees and 3–5s blocks.

6/8 Band and DIA are both on testnet, and explorers cover both Cosmos and EVM. Infra feels solid, and from what we’ve seen, it’s actively maintained by more than just Ripple.

7/8 Of course it's early. Composability still catching up, and killer apps haven't landed yet.

But the groundwork is there, and in our view, it’s one of the few places where Cosmos, XRPL, and EVM genuinely intersect.

MetaMask and Keplr for EVM side. XUMM, XRPL Snap, Crossmark for XRP side. No matter what stack you’re coming from, there's a way in. And with explorers for both Cosmos and EVM layers, tracking activity's simple.

5/8 Dev stack’s what you’d expect: Solidity, Hardhat, Remix. Peersyst keeps it running under the hood, with others supporting infrastructure where needed.

2/8 This isn't a Layer 2, it's a full chain with its own validators and trustless bridge to XRPL. Axelar powers that bridge - lock XRPL on mainnet, mint 1:1 on EVM. Same goes for 69+ other chains. Native access to Cosmos and Ethereum.

3/8 The ecosystem's already got traction, over 80 projects are building here. 

DeFi, NFTs, infra is already active. Familiar tools, same standards, just flowing into XRPL.

4/8 Wallets? Covered. 

Exciting development! @peersyst's XPRL EVM merges XRPL's strengths with EVM capabilities, offering low fees and fast transactions. Great step towards interoperability in the blockchain space.
