XRP Ledger’s Xahau Sidechain has announced its first API service provider, XRPScan, joining other independent developers on the Xahau Layer-2 Dev Table. The Xahau Sidechain is a smart contract sidechain for the XRP Ledger ecosystem, with features that can enhance the utility of future decentralized applications (DApps) and increase adoption of XRP. The integration of the Xahau Sidechain brings the XRPL closer to retail adoption.
XRPL Labs founder WietseWind highlighted how the XRP Ledger-powered smart contracts functionality will support the development of everyday life utilities. He also mentioned the collaboration with GateHub, Alloy Networks, EvernodeXRPL, and others in publishing the Xahau whitepaper.
XRPScan’s integration as an API and Explorer for the Xahau Sidechain will help achieve its goals as outlined in its whitepaper. The team completed a comprehensive security audit called Xahaud, which identified a high-severity security risk along with several medium and low severity risks. Despite these findings, the current security measures were deemed mature and adequate.
In conclusion, the integration of XRPScan on the Xahau Sidechain marks a significant step towards enhancing the functionality and adoption of DApps within the XRPL ecosystem. With ongoing efforts to improve security measures and collaborations with other developers, the XRPL is poised for further growth and retail adoption.
