Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has raised the possibility of a collaboration with the XRP community. This follows the successful execution of the Midnight airdrop, which XRP holders also benefited from.
During an AMA session, Hoskinson said that it would be a lot of fun to work with the XRP community, while revealing that he recently had a chat with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. He further remarked that Lace Wallet will support XRP before the end of the year.
Notably, the Cardano founder had mentioned in June that a “whole XRP package” was in the works. Back then, he alluded to the Midnight airdrop, Lace wallet support, XRP DeFi, and RLUSD talks as part of the plans to integrate the XRP ecosystem into Cardano.
Meanwhile, during the AMA session, Hoskinson also mentioned that he would love to do a joint event with some stakeholders in the XRP community, including pro-crypto lawyer John Deaton.
In an X post, Deaton responded to the Cardano founder’s statement about possibly organizing an event with him and some other stakeholders in the XRP community. The pro-crypto lawyer said that it would be an honor and a pleasure to be present at the event, working with Hoskinson and other leaders within the crypto ecosystem.
Meanwhile, prominent XRP community member BankXRP commended the move from the Cardano founder. He stated that crypto collaboration fuels innovation, strengthens security, drives adoption, saves costs, and builds trust. The community member added that he hopes to see ADA supported on more wallets.
He revealed that over 1.6 billion tokens have been redeemed so far, describing the airdrop strategy as a really nice layered way of getting other ecosystems involved. As CoinGape reported, in addition to ADA holders, BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB, AVAX, and BAT holders were also eligible for the NIGHT airdrop.
The Cardano founder again reiterated how the Midnight airdrop is going to be one of the largest airdrops of all time, if not the largest. He also suggested that they might need to work with leads in these other ecosystems who will help promote the Midnight project.
Hoskinson also recently had to address comments regarding the manipulation of the Midnight airdrop for insiders. He remarked that the airdrop is doing incredibly well and that there was no need to spread misinformation.
