## What it is
The XRPL EVM Sidechain node is a Go implementation of a blockchain node that brings Ethereum Virtual Machine compatibility to the XRP Ledger ecosystem. It allows operators to run validators or full nodes for a fast, secure sidechain enabling web3 applications for the XRP Ledger community.

## Use cases
- run an XRPL EVM sidechain validator node
- deploy a full node for the XRPL EVM sidechain
- build web3 dapps on the XRP Ledger
- deploy EVM smart contracts connected to XRPL
- operate blockchain infrastructure for XRP ecosystem
- join the XRPL EVM sidechain network as an operator

## When to choose
- you need to run or operate XRPL EVM sidechain infrastructure
- you want EVM compatibility with XRP Ledger settlement
- you are a validator or node operator in the XRPL EVM network

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose EVM chain unrelated to XRP Ledger
- you only need an XRPL wallet or client library rather than a node
- you want a lightweight blockchain explorer or frontend
