The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has long been recognized as one of the fastest, cheapest, and most reliable blockchains in the world.
However, one key limitation has held back broader dApp adoption: the lack of advanced smart contract capabilities.
Evernode is solving this by providing a developer-friendly Layer 2 environment where anyone can build, deploy, and scale powerful decentralized applications — without compromising XRPL’s core strengths.
This article explores how Evernode empowers developers to unlock XRPL’s full potential.
Why Developers Need Evernode
While XRPL is ideal for payments and token issuance, it lacks native smart contract programmability beyond simple hooks.
Evernode changes that by offering:
- Off-Chain Smart Contract Execution
- Decentralized Host Network
- Scalable Computation
- Low-Cost Transactions
- Secure Settlement on XRPL
This unlocks Ethereum-level functionality — but with XRPL’s speed, cost-efficiency, and reliability.
