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 a blogpost 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.”
As the rest of the cryptocurrency market undergoes capitulation, has the ADA token found solace in the news of this upgrade?
Nowhere to hide for Ms. ADA
As the bears overrun the entire cryptocurrency market, the ADA token was not able to piggyback on the news of this upgrade to register gains in the last 24 hours. Exchanging hands at $0.4568 per ADA token at the time of press, the token managed to register a 10% decline within the last 24 hours. Although Trading Volume marked a 7% spike, the divergence in price and trading volume hinted at profit-taking in the last 24 hours.

With price movement marked by a red candle, the Relative Strength Index was positioned below the 50 neutral region at the time of writing. Marking a spot at the 36 index on a downward curve, the bears were spotted pushing this indicator further downwards. Also taking on a downward trend was the Money Flow index (MFI). Although positioned at 52, the bears appeared to be winning the fight with the indicator positioned in a downward curve.

Popular Cardano-based decentralized exchange WingRiders has lost its position as the most valuable DEX on Cardano.
WingRiders slumped from the first position to third after losing more than 59% of the total value locked (TVL) on the platform in the past 30 days.
At the time of writing this line, WingRiders is now the third-largest DEX by total value locked, with a TVL of $19.66 million. It is noteworthy that WingRiders maintained the top spot for more than two months, claiming 42% of TVL On Cardano. However, the DEX has fallen from glory ever since.
Minswap Is Now Cardano’s Most Valuable DEX
The development also affected the total value locked on Cardano. The total value locked on Cardano has fallen below $100 million in the last 30 days after the WingRiders TVL slumped.
Interestingly, Minswap has taken the lead to become the most valuable decentralized exchange on Cardano after the massive decline of WingRiders’ TVL.
At press time, Minswap is leading, with a $49.09 million total value locked on the platform. The DEX hit the milestone after recording a massive growth of 30.9% in its TVL in the past 30 days. Minswap accounts for 51.82% of the total value locked on Cardano.
SundaeSwap, the first decentralized exchange on Cardano, is now the second most valuable DEX in the ecosystem. SundaeSwap is second in the ranking, with $19.72 million in TVL.
Like WingRiders, SundaeSwap has also lost a significant amount of its TVL over the past 30 days. In the past month, SundaeSwap has lost nearly 10% of the funds locked on the platform.
Commenting on the development, Cardano Daily, a platform that shares new developments about Cardano, said:
“After the major decline of @wingriderscom, the TVL scenario of the Cardano ecosystem has stabilized back to normal as we have seen in the past few weeks. @MinswapDEX still led the ecosystem with $51M TVL, contributing 50% of the ecosystem.”
