It now runs Ethereum smart contracts faster and cheaper on Testnet.
This is one of the biggest utility unlocks in XRP history.
If you’re only watching the price… you’re already behind.

1. What is an EVM sidechain.
It’s a separate blockchain that can run Ethereum-compatible smart contracts — but faster and cheaper. Think DeFi, NFTs, and dApps… with Ethereum tooling, but none of the gas pain.
2. This sidechain speaks Ethereum fluently.
Developers can use Solidity, MetaMask, and existing Ethereum tools — but now on XRP infrastructure. That means Ethereum-level dApps… powered by XRP's speed and liquidity.
