6 Core Elements of the XRPL EVM Ecosystem That Are Already Live

XRPL EVM isn’t just a way to run Solidity contracts elsewhere.
It’s a foundation for a new Web3 ecosystem growing alongside the XRP Ledger - fast, stable, low-cost, and developer-friendly.

Yes, the ecosystem is early. But several pieces are already working - publicly, openly, and reliably.
Here are 6 verified components of XRPL EVM that are live and usable today.

1. Crossmark - the wallet that supports XRPL EVM

What it is:
A browser extension that interacts with both XRPL and XRPL EVM.
Multi-account support, Web3 dApp integration, EVM transaction signing.

Why it matters:
Crossmark is the first confirmed wallet with XRPL EVM support.
No need for Metamask or custom setups - smooth UX out of the box.

2. XRPL EVM Sidechain Testnet - the foundation layer

What it is:
A Cosmos SDK-based sidechain with Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus.
Runs in parallel to XRPL, supports Solidity, Hardhat, Metamask.

Why it matters:
Not a Layer 2. Not a fork. A standalone EVM network with XRP as gas and predictable, low-cost transactions — no gas wars.

3. Band Protocol - decentralized oracles

What it is:
Band has integrated its oracles into the XRPL EVM testnet. Contracts can now access off-chain data like price feeds.

Why it matters:
No oracles = no serious DeFi. Band provides critical infrastructure, already live on XRPL EVM.

4. Zoniqx - real-world asset tokenization

What it is:
An institutional-grade platform supported by Ripple for asset tokenization, with planned EVM integration.

Why it matters:
RWA is one of the top trends in Web3. Zoniqx brings real financial use cases to XRPL EVM.

5. XRPL EVM Explorer - transparency for blocks and contracts

What it is:
Official block explorer for XRPL EVM based on Blockscout. Shows tokens, contracts, transactions, addresses.

Why it matters:
No transparency, no trust. This explorer is essential for developers and users alike.

6. SDK and Dev Tools - docs, templates, Remix plugin

What’s available:

• XRPL EVM Remix plugin

• Wallet integration guides

• Example contracts

• Full deployment tutorials

Why it matters:
No need to learn new tools or frameworks - if you know Ethereum, you’re ready to build here.

In conclusion

XRPL EVM isn’t yet a mature ecosystem - but the foundation is solid:

• wallet support (Crossmark)

• oracle integration (Band)

• institutional tokenization (Zoniqx)

• dev tooling, docs, and block explorer

This isn’t “coming soon.”
It’s already here. And it’s the perfect time to build.
