Welcome to volume 27 of the “Wanchain round-up series” where we cover all the latest news, trends, tips, and tricks within the Wanchain ecosystem! This series is your one-stop for all the latest happenings within the ecosystem, keeping you always in the loop!

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!! — Wanchain and Maestro to launch Cardano Metamask Support: Buy Cardano Native Tokens from Ethereum!

Have you checked out the proposal for Cardano x Metamask support yet? This huge endeavor spearheaded by Wanchain and Maestro will “act as a catalyst to expose Cardano Dapps, Cardano native assets, and Cardano NFTs to millions of new users and billions of dollars of untapped liquidity.” Adding to this, end-to-end SDKs and Smart Beacon Routers will streamline Cardano’s push into the EVM world by automatically routing DEX swaps to and from the Wanchain bridge while a backend SDK brings end-to-end cross-chain integrations to dApps. Having the functionality to buy and trade any Cardano native token from an EVM wallet will surely be a game changer.
