Cardano [ADA] on-boarding solidity-based apps will have this effect on the network

ambcrypto.com:

As the date for the launch of its long-awaited Vasil Hard Fork draws nearer, the software company behind the Cardano Project, Input-Output Global (IOG), yesterday announced the launch of its permission-less Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain alpha on the testnet. According to it, this will allow developers and builders alike to build their Solidity-based applications on the Cardano Blockchain.

In ablogpost published by IOG on 28 April, the software company describing the newly released EVM sidechain alpha stated that:

“This sidechain will allow developers to write Solidity smart contracts on Cardano, create EVM compatible DApps, and ERC20-compatible tokens (and in time, their own sidechains) while gaining many of the benefits of Cardano. That means users will benefit from far lower fees and faster settlement times on a more environmentally sustainable blockchain.

Speaking on its features, it was stated that:

“The key features of the EVM sidechain will be full compatibility with Ethereum upgrades and tools, Web3 wallet compatibility, the use of the proof-of-stake Ouroboros Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus protocol, and, of course, its ability to inherit security from the Cardano main chain.”
