How Cardano Users Can Now Bridge Assets from ADA to Solana

It is now possible for people to move ADA, the native token of the Cardano network, to Solana. On Thursday, February 13, Wanchain, the emerging crypto interoperability solution, unveiled that it has unlocked a new token route between Cardano and Solana. For now, however, this token route only allows the transfer of ADA from the Cardano network to the Solana network. "ADA is now live on Solana via the Wanchain Bridge! The lines between these two top 10 blockchain players are fading – it's time to swap jerseys!" Wanchain's announcement read. The interoperability solution first teased the move on Tuesday, February 11. It acknowledged that there was no love lost between the two networks, which it likened to football rivals. "Solana users say that nobody uses Cardano. Cardano users say that Solana is only for memecoins. How about finally putting this rivalry aside and swapping jerseys?" Wanchain's teaser read. With the rollout of the feature, all users have to do is move ADA to the Solana network: launch the Wanchain bridge, connect their Cardano wallet, select the source chain as Cardano and source asset as ADA, then select the destination chain as Solana with ADA as the asset once again. The process cost 2.29 ADA, or about $1.85 at the time of writing. Meanwhile, the project has also teased an upcoming feature to allow users to bridge SOL to Cardano, but it is unclear when this will launch. Still, Wanchain has teased the launch of a new product on February 19, asserting that it will be "a massive upgrade" of one of its existing solutions.
