Charles Hoskinson hinted at a possible partnership with Bitcoin Cash. He asked the crypto community what it would think if Bitcoin Cash became a Cardano partner chain, updated with the help of Useful Proof of Work Leios, NiPoPoW and Ergo technologies. According to Hoskinson, this integration would contribute to the fastest and most efficient Proof-of-Work (PoW). More than 13,800 people took part in the survey, with the majority of users (67.8%) voting in favor of the proposal.
Hypothetical Poll:
Would you like to see Bitcoin Cash become a Cardano Partnerchain upgraded with Useful Proof of Work Leios, NiPoPoWs, and Ergo tech, thus being the fastest and most useful proof of work chain ever built?
Ben Scherrey, founder and CTO of the Biggest Lab, a blockchain company, supported Hoskinson's initiative. Sherry wrote in the comments that there is some kind of synergistic relationship between the Cardano and Bitcoin Cash networks, so blockchains could complement each other. Given that the networks use the unspent outputs (UTXO) model, this will increase the scalability and decentralization of these blockchains.
I've always thought there was some natural synergy between the two chains given the shared utxo model that allows for high scalability and decentralization.
— Ben Scherrey (@proteusguy) May 5, 2024Now the Cardano developers are preparing for two major updates that are due to take place this year. The Chang hard fork is scheduled for the second quarter of 2024, and a new proof-of-stake model called Ouroboros Leios is also to be implemented.
Despite Hoskinson's high expectations for upcoming updates, recently controversial crypto blogger Ben Armstrong called the Cardano blockchain a "dead project."
