Ripple Begins Testing XRP Ledger Sidechain That’s Compatible With Ethereum Smart Contracts

Ripple begins testing XRP Ledger sidechain that’s compatible with Ethereum smart contracts. The sidechain is currently live on Ripple's developer net and is open for testing. "Our goal in 2023 is to have an EVM sidechain connected to the XRPL mainnet," Ripple Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz said. "The bridge in the final solution will be decentralized and all components of the solution will be production ready to handle real world scale and use cases."
