# Assets on the XRPL EVM Sidechain

At launch:

* Axiom supports **XRP** as the primary settlement and staking asset
* Yield flows initially into the **XRPVault**

As liquidity grows on the XRPL EVM Sidechain:

* RLUSD can be added as a settlement option
* USDC, USDT, or other stablecoins may be added as governance-bearing vaults
* Protocol fee routing can support a broader multi-vault system

All of these actions occur under bootstrap authority initially, then transition to governance post-bootstrap.

### **Price Feeds and Oracles**

The XRPL EVM Sidechain supports decentralized price discovery through:

* [BandChain oracles](https://docs.bandchain.org/introduction/how-bandchain-works)
* XRP or USD-pegged stablecoin DEX pricing

Axiom uses these price sources to:

* calculate USD stake values for snapshots
* determine vault TVL
* support rewards and fee accounting
* maintain fair and transparent governance weight

The oracle system is decentralized and verifiable.

***

### **Integrated DEX Routing**

When multiple vaults are active, the protocol may need to:

* convert settlement asset commissions into XRP
* convert XRP into stablecoins
* route yield proportionally to each vault

Axiom uses integrated DEX steps where required to perform these swaps automatically as part of protocol fee routing.

Users do not interact with this process directly. Their yield simply accrues.

***

### **Scalable Infrastructure for Future Growth**

The XRPL EVM Sidechain allows Axiom to expand over time:

* deeper order-book markets
* automated templates
* cross-market arbitrage systems
* multi-vault staking
* advanced governance tooling
* SubDAO-based extensions

Because Axiom uses upgradeable infrastructure and lives in a full EVM environment, future upgrades can be introduced without disrupting the core protocol.
