# Unwrapping Assets

To move assets from Milkomeda C1 sidechain back to Cardano, use the Milkomeda Cardano Unwrap Bridge. Follow the steps below to unwrap milkADA and receive ADA in your Cardano mainnet wallet. 

First, access the [Milkomeda Cardano Unwrap Bridge](https://cardano-bridge.milkomeda.com/bridge) and connect your MetaMask wallet.

You can check the transaction details in [Cardanoscan](https://cardanoscan.io) explorer for more information.
{% endhint %}

At this stage, the address bar of your browser will contain some information about the unwrapping transaction. An example is shown in the figure below.

The meaning of each of these elements in the address bar is as follows: 

* The EVM unwrapping transaction ID
* The unwrapped token amount
* The name of the token being unwrapped

To look up more detailed information about the unwrapping transaction, go to [Milkomeda Blockscout explorer](https://explorer-mainnet-cardano-evm.c1.milkomeda.com/) and paste the EVM unwrapping transaction ID into the search box, as shown below.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://milkyswap.gitbook.io/milkyswap/the-project/milkomeda/unwrapping-assets.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
