Key interoperability milestone nears on Cardano as EVM-compatible Layer 2 launches
gimbal could be on the verge of a major interoperability milestone with the debut of Milkomeda, an EVM-enabled Layer 2. The Milkomeda C1 mainnet is set to launch on March 28.
In late February, Milkomeda, a Layer 2 Protocol (Rollups) delivering EVM capabilities to non-EVM blockchains in collaboration with Nomad, a novel interoperability protocol, launched a bridge testnet between Cardano and Ethereum. Now, the bridge is expected to go live in mainnet.
Once deployed, assets can be sent back and forth between the two blockchains via the bridge. Milkomeda will strive to achieve both sidechain and multi-blockchain interoperability visions.
Users holding tokens on the connected chain can move these assets to Cardano and vice versa, simply by wrapping them on the sidechain that links the two blockchains. These tokens become native assets on Cardano mainnet and perform the same functions as native assets on Cardano, once wrapped.
ADA Price Action
ADA was trading at $1.12 at press time, up 3.05% on the day. By market value, ADA is the seventh largest cryptocurrency, dropping 28.79% in the past seven days.

As it stands, ADA might form a bullish pennant that could lead to a continuation of its bullish move. In this case, the next barrier is at $1.52, while support remains at $0.95.
