Cardano Now Interoperable With Bitcoin, Here’s How

All networks are keen on attaining interoperability, which is crucial to their growth. In this light, Bitcoin developer and FluidTokens CTO elraulito took to X to announce the latest breakthrough in blockchain interoperability.

He revealed a seamless Plutus V3-based smart contract bridge between Bitcoin (BTC) and Cardano (ADA) applications.

Cardano-Bitcoin Bridge Comes With Multiple Features

This bridge will allow Bitcoin users to send ADA, manage, or stake them on any Cardano pool without additional software or wallet. elraulito further explained that the smart contract was built using tools and protocols.

It leverages a Cardano smart contract language known as Aiken and CIP69, which enhances the address’s programmability.

In addition, the smart contract has a multi-validator responsible for facilitating transactions, delegations, and reward withdrawals.

MeshJS manages off-chain transactions. The bridge employs Mesh, an open-source library that supports Web3 app development. This currently offers one of the few Plutus V3-compatible implementations.

The developer is confident that these capabilities may extend to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chain, further broadening Cardano’s functionality.

Cardano Founder And Community Reacts to Interoperability Innovation

Charles Hoskinson, Cardano founder, expressed surprise at the innovation and its capacity to usher in a new phase of cross-chain connectivity.

It also generated questions from the crypto community on X, with most of them showing interest in understanding the mechanics and applications of the new bridge. Another set was more interested in the validation process.

Hoskinson is a core advocate for sound technology and is likely impressed by the latest developments. His interest and commitment are evident in his dedication to positioning the Cardano protocol for long-term success.
