Coreum for a while now has given a clue stating the impending launch of its XRPL bridge during the progress of the initial bridge rollout a year before. Note that there had been a bridge between XRPL and Coreum Network which was launched In Q4 2022, this was the first of such an enterprise.
Be that as it may, the bridge capabilities were exhaustible, this is because it only performs the function of permitting just the transaction of Coreum (COREUM) tokens from the XRP Ledger to the Coreum blockchain. It was reported late last year that 37 million COREUM had already been bridged by participants.
Towards the end of last year, the team behind Sologenic, makers of Coreum, made an announcement that plans to upgrade the functionalities of the bridge are being considered, this will help in integrating high-level interoperability features and also facilitate the seamless transfer of various assets.
Coreum Habuoring XRP
The new achievement satisfies this vision, giving an absolute and smooth transfer of XRP and different assets from the XRPL to Coreum. Regardless, the team is yet to make the announcement officially in regards to the launch, with plans to hold an X AMA on the bridge capability tomorrow at 10 AM (PST).
The official Coreum X page likewise prodded the launch on Monday, portraying a connection between the EVM-compatible blockchains upheld by Coreum and the XRPL. In response to the depiction, Bob Ras, Co-founder of Coreum, gave a nitty-gritty, outlining the bridge’s capacities.
According to Ras, the bridge would facilitate interoperability with EVM-compatible networks, including Polkadot, Avalanche, Ethereum, and BNB Smart Chain. This interoperability will be conceivable with the use of the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol.
On the horizon soon: Expanding support for interoperability with EVM-compatible networks such as Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polkadot, and Avalanche through IBC. This will allow assets from those chains to flow back and forth between #Coreum and these blockchains seamlessly!

For the sake of enlightenment, the term Inter-Blockchain Communication is a bunch of protocols and norms that permit different blockchain networks to communicate and move assets or data between one another in a decentralized way.
The Implication
Ras further emphasizes that the utilization of IBC for blockchain interoperability will permit market participants to move assets from the supported blockchains to Coreum and between the supported blockchains. Basically, clients could connect XRP to Coreum and other networks like Ethereum or Polkadot.
Seeing as the Cosmos team is behind the IBC protocol, this advancement would likewise permit XRP to be connected to the Cosmos ecosystem. Information from the Coreum explorer demonstrates that market participants have so far bridged 4.1 XRP with 3 holders at the time of writing.
This low figure, combined with the shortfall of an official declaration, could show that the bridge isn’t completely functional for the general public. Once functional, it could open entryways for users to use XRP on AMMs in the Coreum ecosystem and different potential outcomes, for example, staking and smart contract functionalities.
