TL;DR

  • Band Protocol is now live on the XRPL EVM Testnet, bringing real-world data into the XRPL's new EVM-compatible environment.
  • This testnet integration combines XRPL’s enterprise-grade reliability and low fees with Band’s decentralized oracle infrastructure—empowering developers to build EVM-based DeFi platforms and enterprise applications.
  • Developers can now directly access decentralized price feeds for assets like XRP/USD, BTC/USD, and ETH/USD within XRPL EVM smart contracts.
  • This is just the beginning—more data feeds and enterprise-ready tools are coming as we move toward mainnet deployment.

Introduction

We’re excited to announce that Band Protocol is now live on the XRPL EVM Sidechain Testnet—marking a new chapter in our journey to support enterprise-grade innovation on scalable blockchains.

This integration expands on our commitment to provide reliable oracle solutions for the XRPL ecosystem and introduces decentralized data feeds to developers building smart contracts on the XRPL EVM sidechain, supporting the vision of bringing EVM compatibility to XRPL ecosystem.

With Band Oracle now integrated into XRPL EVM sidechain, we’re enabling developers to access trusted, real-time off-chain data using Solidity—opening the door to a new era where enterprise blockchain solutions on XRPL meet Ethereum decentralized technology.

Why XRPL EVM Testnet Is a Key Milestone for Developers

The XRPL EVM sidechain is built to bring Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility to the XRP Ledger, allowing developers to write and deploy Solidity smart contracts while leveraging XRPL’s strengths.

What makes XRPL EVM Testnet a valuable environment for Band Protocol:

  • EVM Compatibility: Developers can build using familiar Solidity tools and frameworks like Hardhat, Remix, and MetaMask.
  • XRPL Infrastructure: The testnet inherits the XRPL’s low-cost, fast-settlement environment—ideal for real-time DeFi use cases.
  • Testing for Production: Enterprises can begin experimenting with oracles and DeFi logic on testnet before scaling to mainnet.
💡
With Band Protocol now on the XRPL EVM Testnet, developers can begin prototyping powerful, data-driven applications ahead of full-scale deployment.

What Band Protocol Brings to XRPL EVM

Band Protocol now provides decentralized price feeds to XRPL EVM developers through reference oracle contracts, making it easier to build smart contracts that rely on real-world data. Current testnet feeds include: XRP/USD, BTC/USD, ETH/USD, and additional symbols in the pipeline.

Secure, Real-Time Price Feeds

Our decentralized validator network aggregates data from multiple trusted sources like Binance, CoinGecko, and CoinMarketCap, processes it on BandChain using Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus, and delivers the verified price feeds data on-chain to XRPL EVM.

Enterprise-Grade Use Cases

With this integration, XRPL EVM developers can:

  • Launch DeFi protocols like lending platforms or automated market makers with reliable price data.
  • Power Real World Asset (RWA) issuance, pricing, and trading platforms.
  • Experiment with blockchain-driven ideas to solve real-world enterprise problems.

How Band Protocol Works on XRPL EVM

A high-level look at how Band Protocol delivers data to XRPL EVM Sidechain

A high-level look at how Band Protocol delivers data to XRPL EVM smart contracts:

  1. Data Request: Band Protocol requests price data from multiple trusted APIs.
  2. Aggregation and Verification on BandChain: Data is aggregated and validated using BandChain’s decentralized validators and consensus model.
  3. Data Relaying: Verified data is securely pushed to Band’s oracle contracts deployed on XRPL EVM Testnet.
  4. Read Symbol: Solidity contracts on XRPL EVM query this data via reference functions.
  5. Data Delivery: Contracts receive the latest price data directly in their logic flow.

Looking Ahead: Mainnet and Beyond

This integration is just the first step. We are proud to be a part of the early stage of XRPL EVM Sidechain. As we gather feedback and optimize performance on the testnet, we’re preparing for a mainnet launch with expanded data coverage and enhanced support for more enterprise use cases.

Together, Band Protocol and XRPL are shaping a future where decentralized data drives real-world business outcomes—securely, reliably, and sustainably.

Let’s build what’s next—starting today on XRPL EVM Sidechain Testnet.

About XRPL EVM

The XRPL Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) is a transformative extension of the XRP Ledger ecosystem that introduces Ethereum’s smart contract capabilities through a dedicated sidechain. Built on the Cosmos SDK, this sidechain leverages a Proof-of-Authority (PoA) consensus model to maintain high performance and low latency while preserving the core attributes of the XRP Ledger. It connects to the XRP Ledger via the Axelar network, using XRP bridged from the XRPL as its native currency, facilitating seamless asset transfers and communication between the XRPL and the EVM sidechain. This integration fuses the XRP Ledger’s proven speed, cost-efficiency, and security with Ethereum’s versatility, empowering developers to build and deploy Solidity-based smart contracts in a high-speed, low-cost, and liquidity-rich environment.
