How will Milkomeda C1 operate? To use Ethereum assets, the users have to add Milkomeda C1 to the MetaMask wallet and transfer funds from the Cardano mainnet to the new sidechain. 10 000 white-listed users can already use Milkomeda C1, with the developers stating they will open general access soon. The fund also plans to add support for the Algorand and Solana networks, which should ensure greater interoperability.
