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 multiple upgrades this year.
Besides Lace, the Cardano ecosystem is also focused on enhancing other solutions. In November, Hoskinson had a technical discussion with Ripple's CTO David Schwartz about 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 the potential for Midnight to drive the development of privacy-centric DApps and further blockchain development.
The discussions between the two parties indicate that cooperation between Cardano and Ripple may unfold 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 these goals, Hoskinson stated that Cardano will collaborate with multi-party computation protocol Fair Gate Labs. (CoinGape)
