2/ XRPL has long led blockchain payments - instant transactions, low fees, and a built-in DEX. But in DeFi? It barely registered. In 2024, XRPL's TVL was less than 0.05% of its market cap. For comparison: • Ethereum - ~20% • Solana - ~10%

3/ That’s not a weakness - it’s an opportunity. With regulatory clarity in the U.S. and beyond, Ripple’s partnerships growing, and builders paying attention... We’re entering a new era for XRP - XRPFI.

4/ To understand the value of the XRPL EVM Sidechain, look at how DeFi evolved: • Ethereum → programmability • Polygon & L2s → scalability • Cosmos → interoperability XRPL EVM combines all three pillars.

5/ XRPL EVM = All-in-one • Programmability - full EVM compatibility • Scalability - smart contract execution outside XRPL • Interoperability - Axelar, IBC, and bridge support XRP bridged to the sidechain remains locked on XRPL mainnet.

6/ The infrastructure is already live: • Node: Cosmos EVM • RPC: Ripple, Grove • Indexer: Goldsky • Explorer: Blockscout • Oracles: Band Protocol • Wallets: MetaMask, Keplr, Leap, Bifrost, Cosmostation Not test setups - battle-tested tools.

7/ Over 90 projects have already joined XRPL EVM: • DeFi (Moai, Elys, XRise, Strobe...) • RWAs (Purple Markets) • Launchpads (Fomo..biz, Riddle..fun) • DAOs (Nexus DAO, XAO) • Infra (Range, Goldsky, Band) All in just 60 days of testnet.

8/ What’s the upside? • Polygon added $2–6B in TVL to Ethereum • Arbitrum - $3B+ • Optimism - $1.5B+ • Neon EVM - already 0.5% of Solana’s TVL If XRPL EVM performs - that’s +$600M to $12B for XRP TVL.
