Smart contracts on XRP Ledger as of now

The latest news on the topic was the achievement by Evernode, a developer of a kind of Layer 2 smart contract solution for XRPL, in the beta version of its network. The solution was implemented directly using Hooks, amendments adding smart contract functionality to XRP Ledger.

As small embedded pieces of software code, Hooks allows developers to monitor and define transaction behavior and flow, and to perform other logic at any point in the "life" of a transaction.

In the early autumn of this year, there were doubts about how soon the proposal to fully implement Hooks would be accepted. However, if we view Hamilton's words positively, the community should soon have a more accurate picture of what is going on with smart contracts at XRPL.
