The XRP Ledger (XRPL) continues to show sustained network growth supported by on-chain data. According to XRPSCAN, the ledger now hosts more than 6.7 million unique accounts, with average daily transaction volume hovering near 1.2 million. Independent analytics from The Block confirm a gradual rise in daily active addresses throughout 2025, proving the network’s resilience despite market volatility.
Ripple’s Q3 2025 Markets Report also highlights renewed institutional participation and deeper liquidity provision across XRP pairs on major exchanges. Technical improvements implemented in validator communication and amendment processing earlier this year have increased throughput consistency across the ledger’s consensus network. Those enhancements, detailed in the XRPL Developers blog, reinforce XRP’s role as one of the industry’s most reliable settlement systems.
Amid that broader momentum, projects are expanding the XRP Ledger’s functionality into multi-chain DeFi. The most prominent example this month is XRP Tundra, which has achieved a verified integration between the XRP Ledger and Solana — a structural milestone rarely accomplished within the XRPL framework.
Tundra Platform Completes Verified Multi-Chain Integration
The milestone establishes full synchronization between TUNDRA-X on the XRP Ledger and TUNDRA-S on Solana, creating an audited bridge that allows transparent data and liquidity transfer between both networks. The integration was finalized following a sequence of independent security checks and marks the first dual-chain operation within the XRP ecosystem designed specifically for DeFi scalability.
With more than $2 million already raised during its ongoing presale, Tundra demonstrates practical investor confidence in interoperable XRP-based systems. The implementation allows users to leverage Solana’s throughput while anchoring reserves and governance in XRP’s proven ledger — combining speed with reliability under one verified framework.
Dual-Token Architecture Enables Cross-Ledger Functionality
At the core of the platform lies a dual-token economy. TUNDRA-S, native to Solana, drives ecosystem operations such as transaction fees and future staking through the Cryo Vault system. TUNDRA-X, on the XRP Ledger, governs policy and reserve allocation. This division ensures that yield functions and liquidity mechanics operate on the performance-optimized Solana layer while governance and supply integrity remain protected on XRPL.
The configuration sets the foundation for GlacierChain, a forthcoming Layer-2 network extending XRPL’s capacity for smart-contract execution and cross-chain validation. In practical terms, Tundra’s architecture links Solana’s speed with XRP’s liquidity depth — enabling DeFi participation for XRP holders without migrating away from the native ledger.
Verified Security and Measured Presale Progress
Tundra’s integration followed a full verification cycle that preceded launch. The project completed three independent audits — Cyberscope, Solidproof, and FreshCoins — and obtained Vital Block KYC verification for its development team.
This reverse order — verifying before scaling — contrasts with the “launch-first” norm across DeFi and has contributed to sustained presale participation. Now in Phase 8, pricing stands at $0.132 for TUNDRA-S and $0.066 for TUNDRA-X, with a 12% bonus for participants. Listing prices are already confirmed at $2.5 and $1.25, establishing a fixed upside for early holders.
Over $32 000 in rewards have been distributed via the on-chain Arctic Spinner, confirming functional activity across both chains. In a recent analysis, Crypto Tech Gaming examined how audited multi-chain models like Tundra are broadening XRPL’s DeFi scope while maintaining regulatory transparency.
Preparing the Ground for GlacierChain Development
Tundra’s verified connection between Solana and the XRP Ledger represents a technical leap for XRP’s ecosystem — proof that XRPL’s efficiency can extend beyond its native environment without compromising reliability. The groundwork now supports GlacierChain, a Layer-2 system expected to deliver scalable DeFi operations built directly on XRP’s ledger state.
For the broader XRP community, this signals a new phase of maturity. The ledger’s stability and compliance-ready design are attracting projects that prioritize verifiable interoperability rather than speculative expansion. As XRP Tundra advances toward launch, it stands as both a milestone for XRPL’s evolving utility and an indicator that the network’s next growth cycle will be driven by audited, cross-chain architecture rather than hype.
