Epic Chain, formerly Ethernity Chain, is backed by Ripple and is focused on building the world’s first RWA superstructure. Its goal is to align institutions and consumers across every major asset class, from consumer goods to capital markets.

Project Function

Key products/services include:

EPIC’s Native Integration with XRP. EPIC is currently an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, with plans to deploy on an EVM-compatible sidechain built on the XRP Ledger, enabling future seamless integration with XRP-native apps and liquidity while maintaining compatibility across both ecosystems.

Fanable. Described as the flagship consumer Real-World Asset (RWA) product native to Epic Chain. It is a platform that allows users to trade digital versions of consumer products. It is responsible for generating over $1.2 million in annual on-chain fees and aims to attract "ordinary users" and connect them to tokenized assets.

Epic One. A globally accepted Visa Debit card that enables users to earn up to 8% cashback in XRP on every purchase. The card is integrated with the Epic ecosystem and allows spending of digital assets while earning real XRP rewards.

Token Utility 

The EPIC token is designed to facilitate universal staking, serve as a medium of exchange, and enable governance within its blockchain-based infrastructure.

Epic is focused on building a pipeline for real-world assets, from tokenization to yield. The Epic architecture transforms assets like real estate, bonds, and collectibles into on-chain primitives that can be staked, traded, or spent. Users gain access to yield-generating instruments without sacrificing liquidity, custody, or composability. 

The platform also offers the Epic One card, which provides up to 8% cashback in XRP on purchases.
