Ripple’s XRP Ledger to Get Smart Contracts, EVM Compatibility

• Ripple adds permissionless programmability with Web Assembly.
• EVM sidechain lets developers use Solidity, offering seamless cross-chain integration with XRP.
• MPTs combine fungible and non-fungible tokens, ideal for tokenizing financial assets securely.

Ripple is taking steps to expand the capabilities of the XRP Ledger (XRPL). They’ve just announced their vision for programmability. 

The XRP Ledger Extensibility Team has shared its proposed vision for how developers can integrate custom logic into XRPL features. This aims to improve its functionality while preserving its core strengths—speed and reliability.

Permissionless Programmability for XRPL: Ripple’s Aim

Ripple’s goal is to bring permissionless programmability to XRPL, allowing developers to add custom business logic to the network. This vision focuses on making the XRP Ledger even more flexible while maintaining its simplicity and efficiency.

The team has been working on finding the best way to implement programmability and, after gathering feedback from the XRPL community, has decided to use Web Assembly (WASM).

WASM is considered ideal because it’s both efficient and c…
