Why XRPL EVM Sidechain

Axiom uses the XRPL EVM Sidechain because it provides a unique combination of advantages:

hashtag
Native XRP Liquidity

Axiom is built for XRP holders, and the sidechain gives direct access to XRP as a base settlement asset. This allows users to trade using the asset they already hold without friction.

hashtag
Low Transaction Costs

Prediction markets require frequent transactions. The sidechain’s low cost structure allows:

  • Market creation

  • Odds updates

  • Governance votes

  • Penalty and reward execution

  • Snapshot updates

All to happen affordably.

hashtag
Fast Block Times

The speed of the sidechain ensures responsive user experience, especially when:

  • Markets are closing

  • Time bonuses update

  • Proposals are submitted

  • Challenges occur

  • Stakes are locked for resolution

hashtag
EVM Compatibility

Axiom is written in Solidity and uses standard EVM patterns such as:

  • Upgradeable proxies

  • ERC-4626 style vaults

  • Merkle proofs

  • Offchain computation with fraud proofs

This makes the protocol interoperable with existing Ethereum tooling, easier to audit, and familiar for developers.
