ChainCatcher Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently introduced the future development of the Cardano-based light wallet Lace Wallet to ADA community members on X, hinting at several upgrades this year.
In addition to Lace, the Cardano ecosystem is also working to enhance other solutions. In November, Hoskinson held technical discussions with Ripple CTO David Schwartz regarding Midnight and XRP. As a privacy-centric blockchain project, Midnight aims to enhance secure data processing while maintaining regulatory compliance. Hoskinson is very optimistic about Midnight's potential to drive the development of privacy-centric DApps and further blockchain development. The discussions between the two parties indicate that there may be collaboration between Cardano and Ripple in the near future.
Additionally, Cardano plans to explore Bitcoin DeFi, with its team aiming to present a meaningful Bitcoin roadmap demonstration by May 2025. To achieve this goal, Hoskinson stated that Cardano will collaborate with multi-party computation protocol Fair Gate Labs.
