Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently briefed members of the ADA community on the future of the Cardano-based light wallet Lace Wallet at X, hinting at several upgrades this year. In addition to Lace, the Cardano ecosystem is working on enhancing other solutions. In November, Hoskinson held technical discussions with Ripple CTO David Schwartz about Midnight and XRP. As a privacy-focused 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-focused DApps and further blockchain development. The discussions between the two parties suggest that a collaboration between Cardano and Ripple is possible in the near future.
