It’s time to test

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson Disclosure that the test network (test network) of the ERC-20 converter is now set up and ready for the public test. With the AI ​​service provider SingularityNET and its AGIX tokens, Testnet users can take full advantage of a licensed bridge to transfer these tokens between Ethereum and Cardano.

Communication from IOHK emphasize Demand for blockchain interoperability:

“We are currently building several bridges and are working together to connect Cardano to other blockchains. This first converter is a vital lifeline in the system. The more the connections grow, the greater the network effect to promote the flow of liquidity into the Cardano ecosystem. ”

According to the IOHK release, users can deposit the converted tokens into Daedalus or Yoroi wallets. A conversion back to the ERC-20 standard is also possible. According to the company, the process may sound technical, but readers shouldn’t be concerned. IOHK explains:

“Users don’t need technical know-how or programming experience to use the converter. You simply access the tool via a URL and then continue with the creation of a new account or the configuration of an existing Metamask account. ”

The developer also warned that the test network is still being monitored for issues and has not yet completed the performance tuning process.

In fact, one user tried the test network and shared their gas charges for reference.
