Cardano launches Toolkit for custom sidechain creation

The company behind the Cardano Blockchain has developed a number of tools to enable the creation of sidechains, whereby the first one is already being used as a public test network.

On January 12th, IOG announced that the team constructed an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatible Sidechain as a Proof of Concept.

"Sidechains make Cardano expandable and more scalable without endangering the stability or safety of the main chain," said the blog post.

Cardano continues to build

With the new toolkit, everyone can use the properties of the Cardano infrastructure to build their own side cechain. Essentially it seems to be very similar, as Polkadot works with custom sidechains.

The tool kit enables the side cake to have its own consensus salgorithm and your own functions. It is connected to the root chain via a bridge that enables cross-chain transfers, and the blocking is derived from Main-Chain consensus mechanisms.

The toolkit consists of three main components. These are Main-Chain-Plutus scripts that use the programming language Cardano, a chain followers that pursue the main chain data and events that control the sidechain, and the Sidechain module, interpret the primary chain data and implement the necessary ledger adjustments.

The software is still being checked, Iog said and added that it will later be available as a public test network in January.

"Developers can try it out by performing some solidity applications to get a feeling for their potential."

In a YouTube-AMA video in December, Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson explained his vision for sidechains in the network. He actually suggested that Solana would be more suitable as a Cardano-Sidechain.

"So you could take solana, replace the current consensus salgorithm with something that is 25 times faster and does not constantly collapse, make it a Cardano-Idechain, Solana would then pay to Ada owner to wait," he said.

The token has recently made solid profits because the cryptoma markets finally move up again. As a result, ADA rose by 22.5 % last week.

However, the Cardano Coin is still a whopping 89.3 % below its all -time high of September 2021 of $ 3.09
