3 – Cardano Launch $AGIX ERC20 Converter Testnet

As part of plans to enable transfers of ERC20 tokens from Ethereum, Cardano’s $AGIX ERC20 converter testnet is now live.

Therefore, according to the annoucement, Cardano will commence the initiative by partnering with SingularityNET. As a result, users will be able to transfer the $AGIX to Cardano from Ethereum and vice-versa using a permissioned bridge.

Moreover, the converter is available via a URL and users don’t need any technical know-how to utilize it. They only need to:

  • Setup a Metamask account or use an existing one
  • Customize the linked Cardano address. Thus, making it correspond to a Yoroi Nightly wallet or a testnet Daedalus which stores any transferred token.

OUT NOW: Our first ERC-20 converter is now live on testnet!
