The wallet, which is currently migrating users from Nami, is set to roll out new features and expand to more platforms, with Hoskinson envisioning it as a key player in Cardano’s growth this year.
Beyond Lace, Cardano is advancing Midnight, a privacy-focused blockchain for secure data management, and exploring potential collaborations with Ripple after recent discussions with its CTO, David Schwartz.
