On Twitter, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently shared a "hypothetical poll" asking the cryptocurrency community if they would be interested in seeing integration between Cardano and Bitcoin Cash.
In the first 24 hours, the poll garnered over 12,000 votes, with 66.3% of respondents initially choosing to support the plan. Hoskinson declared his survey to be hypothetical, as was previously noted. Elon Musk has shown that the X platform can also be used as a reference for decision-making.
Biggest Lab's founder and chief technology officer, Ben Scherrey, believes that there is a natural synergy between the two chains due to their shared UTXO mechanism, enabling great scalability and decentralization. The community's interest in integrating Bitcoin Cash and Cardano is apparent. However, the specific details of how this collaboration would be established and function remain unclear.
Regarding technology, Hoskinson coined the phrase "partner chain." This suggests that, in order for Bitcoin Cash to function with the suggested upgrades, it would need to be bridged or cross-chained in some way. Both development teams need to agree on technical aspects of the partnership, but stakeholders and developers also need to understand each other. Hoskinson's social media speech coincides with Cardano getting ready for two "big upgrades" in 2024. The firm is preparing for the "Chang" hard fork, scheduled for the second quarter of 2024. They are also introducing a new proof-of-stake model called "Ouroboros Leios," as previously reported by Cointelegraph.
In his response to a video posted by cryptocurrency celebrity Ben "Bit Boy" Armstrong on April 7, Hoskinson praised the upcoming upgrades. Armstrong called Cardano "dead" in the video.
