We are thrilled to announce the migration from BIRD tokens on Ethereum to OCADA tokens on Solana, and we need your help to ensure a smooth transition. OCADA has created its own bridge to facilitate this migration, and we’re inviting the community to help us battle-test it before we release our web and mobile apps.

Why Migrate?

Our pivot from Ethereum to Solana is driven by the need for greater scalability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. As our ambitions and the complexity of our AI algorithms grew, Ethereum’s limitations became a barrier. Solana offers the high performance and scalability we require to advance our technology and meet the needs of our community.

How to Participate in the Migration Test

We have prepared a detailed guide and a form for community members to test the bridge. Follow the steps below to participate:

Visit the Bridge Dapp: Access the bridge Dapp here.

Request Test Tokens: Fill out the Testnet Token Migration Form to submit your Ethereum address. We will send you Testnet BIRD tokens.

Configure Wallets:

  • Make sure your MetaMask is set to the Sepolia testnet.
  • Ensure your Phantom wallet is set to the Devnet.
  • Add the BIRD testnet contract address (0xE8c59b24729975033A656a17411b6F80805Fc6Da) to your MetaMask.

Connect Wallets: Connect both your MetaMask and Phantom wallets to the bridge Dapp.

Migrate Tokens: Input the amount of BIRD test tokens you wish to bridge and confirm the transactions.

To protect your anonymity, we suggest using a new wallet for testing. No need to use your current BIRD token wallet.

Testing and Feedback

We value your participation and feedback. This migration test is crucial to ensure the bridge functions seamlessly before the official release. Please report any issues or suggestions you encounter during the testing process via this form.

Join us in this exciting transition and help shape the future of OCADA on Solana. Thank you for your support and participation!
