Ripple 將智慧合約功能引入 XRP Ledger 主網，瞄準開發人員

區塊鏈支付公司 Ripple 宣布計劃將智慧合約功能引入 XRP Ledger 主網，旨在增強可編程性並使開發人員能夠創建客製化應用程式。

Blockchain payments firm Ripple has announced plans to introduce smart contract capabilities to the XRP Ledger mainnet, aiming to enhance programmability and enable developers to create customized applications.

區塊鏈支付公司 Ripple 宣布計劃將智慧合約功能引入 XRP Ledger 主網，旨在增強可編程性並使開發人員能夠創建客製化應用程式。

In a statement on September 2, Ripple disclosed its intention to bring smart contracts to the XRP Ledger mainnet, thereby expanding its layer-1 functionality and attracting a broader developer base. Launched in 2012, the XRP Ledger has traditionally been used by banks and financial institutions for cross-border payments.

在 9 月 2 日的聲明中，Ripple 透露了其將智能合約引入 XRP Ledger 主網的意圖，從而擴展其第一層功能並吸引更廣泛的開發者群體。 XRP Ledger 於 2012 年推出，傳統上由銀行和金融機構用於跨境支付。

Smart contracts, which are self-executing agreements with terms directly written into code, will be built upon existing standards such as Hooks. This new functionality on the XRP Ledger is expected to increase the platform’s flexibility, enabling developers to leverage foundational components like escrows, NFTs, trust lines, payment channels, and decentralized exchange features to create innovative decentralized applications.

智能合約是一種自動執行的協議，其條款直接寫入程式碼中，將建立在 Hooks 等現有標準的基礎上。 XRP Ledger 上的這項新功能預計將提高平台的靈活性，使開發人員能夠利用託管、NFT、信任線、支付管道和去中心化交易功能等基礎組件來創建創新的去中心化應用程式。

The announcement also highlighted that developers would be able to deploy smart contracts without a formal amendment process or the need for approval. Nevertheless, an XLS standard will be implemented to ensure smart contracts are secure, efficient, and easy to deploy.

該公告還強調，開發人員將能夠部署智慧合約，而無需正式的修改過程或無需批准。儘管如此，XLS 標準將被實施，以確保智慧合約安全、高效且易於部署。

Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, emphasized the significance of this development, noting that the programmability of the XRP Ledger is “something the XRP community has rightly been asking for.”

Ripple 執行長 Brad Garlinghouse 強調了這項發展的重要性，並指出 XRP Ledger 的可程式性是「XRP 社群一直以來所要求的」。

XRPL Eyes EVM Support with Sidechains

XRPL 透過側鏈支援 EVM

In addition to smart contract integration, Ripple is set to launch the XRPL EVM Sidechain early next year in collaboration with blockchain infrastructure provider Peersyst. This sidechain will allow developers to utilize Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) tools and programming languages, broadening the range of applications that can be built on the XRP Ledger.

除了智慧合約整合之外，Ripple 還將於明年初與區塊鏈基礎設施供應商 Peersyst 合作推出 XRPL EVM 側鏈。此側鏈將允許開發人員利用以太坊虛擬機器（EVM）工具和程式語言，擴大可在 XRP Ledger 上建置的應用程式範圍。

As previously reported, the XRPL EVM will use Axelar’s cross-chain bridge to facilitate transactions between the XRPL EVM Sidechain, the XRP Ledger, and over 55 other blockchains through wrapped XRP (eXRP), which will also serve as the gas token for the sidechain.

如同先前所報導的，XRPL EVM 將使用Axelar 的跨鏈橋，透過包裝的XRP (eXRP) 促進XRPL EVM 側鏈、XRP Ledger 和超過55 個其他區塊鏈之間的交易，這也將作為側鏈的Gas 代幣。

This move comes on the heels of Ripple’s partnership with Cosmos-based evmOS, another EVM-compatible XRPL sidechain, and the recent introduction of Ripple USD (RLUSD), a fiat-pegged stablecoin. RLUSD, which began beta testing on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum mainnet earlier this year, aims to maintain a 1:1 value with the US dollar, backed by a reserve of cash and cash equivalents, potentially enhancing XRPL’s liquidity.

在此之前，Ripple 與基於 Cosmos 的 evmOS（另一個與 EVM 相容的 XRPL 側鏈）合作，以及最近推出了與法定貨幣掛鉤的穩定幣 Ripple USD (RLUSD)。 RLUSD 今年稍早開始在 XRP Ledger 和以太坊主網上進行 Beta 測試，目標是在現金和現金等價物儲備的支持下，與美元保持 1:1 的價值，從而有可能增強 XRPL 的流動性。
