Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, recently shared plans to expand the ecosystem, with the Lace Wallet and Bitcoin-focused projects taking center stage.
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.
Meanwhile, the decentralized governance era, ushered in by the Voltaire upgrade, puts decision-making power in the hands of the community, a shift Hoskinson has pledged to support.
The ecosystem’s future also includes Bitcoin integration, with plans to bridge Cardano and Bitcoin networks through partnerships like BitcoinOS and Fair Gate Labs. A roadmap for this initiative is expected by May 2025.
