The Foundation ensures the XRPL remains accessible, inclusive, and robust, driving innovation in open financial infrastructure.
About the XRP Ledger
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is a decentralized, open-source blockchain launched in 2012, designed for fast, low-cost, and scalable transactions, primarily for payments and tokenization. It processes over 3.3 billion transactions with a 3-5 second settlement time and supports up to 1,500 transactions per second (TPS) at minimal fees. XRPL uses a Proof of Association (PoA) consensus mechanism, relying on a network of trusted validators. XRP, the native token, facilitates transactions and liquidity across the ecosystem.
About the XRPL EVM Sidechain
The XRPL EVM Sidechain, launched on mainnet June 30, 2025, introduces Ethereum-compatible smart contracts to the XRPL ecosystem, enhancing its capabilities without altering the mainnet’s efficiency. Developed by Ripple and Peersyst Technology, it uses XRP as the native gas token, supports 1,000 TPS with 3.4-second block times, and connects to over 80 blockchains via the Axelar bridge, with Wormhole integration planned. It enables developers to deploy Ethereum-based decentralized applications (dApps) using tools like Solidity, MetaMask, and Hardhat, targeting DeFi, lending, tokenization, and payments.
