We're excited to announce our partnership with Peersyst to bring Range’s monitoring, security and intelligence capabilities to the XRPL EVM sidechain - one of the most anticipated ecosystem expansions of 2025.

Range will support XRPL EVM from day one with tooling to help teams track cross-chain flows, monitor risk, and investigate activity across the chain. As XRPL EVM prepares for its mainnet launch, we’re proud to be building alongside Peersyst to provide core infrastructure that strengthens visibility, trust, and developer velocity.

What is XRPL EVM?

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has long been known for its speed and efficiency, with infrastructure optimized for low-cost, high-throughput transactions that have made it a backbone of crypto payments. But until now, XRPL lacked programmability, a key capability for supporting the kind of applications that define web3 today.

To unlock the next phase of utility, Ripple and its development partner, Peersyst Technology, are launching the XRPL EVM sidechain - an EVM-compatible chain that brings full smart contract support to the XRP ecosystem.

It brings full Ethereum smart contract support to the XRP ecosystem, unlocking programmability for the first time, while preserving the fast and low-cost payments infrastructure that XRPL is known for.

Built using the Cosmos SDK and to be connected via IBC, Axelar and Wormhole bridges, XRPL EVM is fully interoperable and maintains a close connection with XRPL’s base layer. It operates independently, preserving XRPL’s core performance while enabling advanced application logic through Solidity-based contracts.

With XRPL EVM, XRP can now be used not just for transfers, but also as:

• Collateral in permissionless lending markets

• Staking assets to secure networks or protocols

• Gas token for paying transaction fees

• A core asset in DeFi strategies and liquidity protocols

• And via its native support for Cosmos’ IBC, get access to 100+ IBC chains and their dApps

In summary, developers can build with familiar Ethereum tools, such as MetaMask, Hardhat, and Solidity, while gaining access to XRPL’s native liquidity and Cosmos’s modular infrastructure.

With over 10 million transactions on the testnet and more than 75 apps already deployed, the XRPL EVM sidechain is poised to become a high-utility, cross-chain platform for DeFi, payments, and onchain applications, powered by one of the largest token communities in the crypto space.

What Range Brings to XRPL EVM

As blockchain usage grows, so does the need for infrastructure that ensures visibility, security, and trust. That’s where Range comes in - helping developers, ecosystem teams, and institutions monitor how capital moves, how systems behave, and how value flows.

Range builds infrastructure for blockchain intelligence, risk analysis, and observability, with support across 70+ chains and 14 major bridge protocols. With this partnership with Peersyst, we’re extending that same visibility to XRPL EVM. 

On day one of the network, the XRPL EVM will be integrated into our Cross-Chain Explorer, allowing users and product teams to monitor both individual cross-chain transactions and analyze real-time aggregate usage data. 

To support the operations of Peersyst and other teams building on XRPL EVM, we will also provide full support for the chain in Range Monitoring and Alerts, as well as Range Trail - our forensic, multi-hop flow-of-funds investigation tool.

And as always, developers and product teams can then leverage our API to integrate real-time transaction tracking and build custom analytics directly into their applications.

Across web3 ecosystems, Range provides critical infrastructure throughout the risk and security lifecycle to help organizations and users build and use cutting-edge financial applications safely:

• The Range Platform, with its advanced explorer, Risk APIs, real-time monitoring and alerts, helps secure over $19.5 billion in assets.

• Range Trail, our cross-chain forensic wallet monitoring tool, is used by multiple teams to respond to incidents and identify stolen funds in security hacks. 

• Our USDC Explorer is the primary explorer for Circle's CCTP protocol. It helps users track cross-chain stablecoin transfers daily across Ethereum, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Cosmos and many other ecosystems.

• Our IBC Rate Limit contracts secure every transaction across Cosmos’s Osmosis and Neutron chains, limiting the potential damage caused by a hack. 

• Our Risk APIs form the backbone of the new Solana Transaction Security Standard, which Squads Protocol adopted to secure its users, who have over $10 billion in combined assets.

Range's integration with XRPL EVM will go live alongside the chain’s mainnet launch. If you’re building on XRPL EVM or want early access to our APIs and dashboards, reach out to us here.

We're proud to support this next chapter of XRPL with Peersyst - and to help make it one of the most visible, secure, and developer-friendly ecosystems in web3.
