Cardano’s IOG Launches Ethereum Virtual Machine Sidechain Alpha

Input Output Global (IOG) formerly known as “IOHK”, the company responsible for Cardano’s research and development, has launched a permissionless Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain Alpha on testnet. IOG Launches EVM Sidechain Alpha on Testnet On Sunday, IOG tweeted that the alpha version of this Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain had been released on the testnet. The initiative will enable developers to build different solidity-based applications on the Cardano network, as well as import their solidity apps from Ethereum to Cardano. “We’re releasing the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain alpha! (Now on testnet.) Build your Solidity-based applications on Cardano, a decentralized, permissionless, sustainable blockchain. The future is interoperable,” the IOG team wrote in its tweet.

A few days ago, IOG shared a tweet explaining how Solidity developers could “apply for access to the EVM sidechain alpha release.” We believe in an interoperable future built on multiple blockchains. That’s why we’re rele...
