Bitcoin rollup protocol BitcoinOS said its Grail bridge was going live for the Cardano network on Thursday, opening the floodgates for capital from Bitcoin flowing into the Cardano ecosystem.

Users can connect and play any on-chain game using ADA tokens directly from their wallets.

The move will be enabled after a new feature on Milkomeda, an Ethereum Virtual Machine network, goes live.

Charles Hoskinson, CEO of the firm that's behind Cardano, says the network will strive to preserve privacy while giving access to regulators and auditors.
