Cardano creator Charles Hoskinson has shared information about the potential integration of Litecoin into the Cardano infrastructure. This initiative could be part of the launch of a new sidechain called Midnight, the main goal of which will be to ensure privacy without violating the principles of an open blockchain.

Midnight, according to the development team, will strengthen the interaction between the two networks, expanding the possibilities for DeFi users. Thanks to this project, it is planned to increase liquidity and create a bridge between the Cardano and Litecoin ecosystems. Thus, both platforms will be able to offer users more flexible solutions for working with decentralized financial instruments.

Hoskinson noted that cooperation with Charlie Lee and Bobby Lee, the founders of Litecoin, has been going on for many years, and now the moment is coming when this partnership can reach a new level. He emphasized that both networks — Cardano and Litecoin — demonstrate stability, which makes them one of the most reliable first-level blockchains.

The integration, in his opinion, will give decentralized applications more opportunities, make Cardano more functional, increase the number of transactions and, in the long term, will have a positive impact on the value of the ADA token.

At the moment, ADA is trading at $0.7337. The trading volume per day decreased by 31% and amounted to $753.7 million. The market capitalization reached $25.9 billion. If the integration project is implemented, this may have a positive impact on the dynamics of the cryptocurrency rate, analysts believe.

Earlier this year, Hoskinson already spoke about his intentions to add Bitcoin support to the Cardano ecosystem. However, he expressed skepticism regarding Ethereum. Despite the leading position of Ethereum on the market, Hoskinson is convinced that its life cycle is limited and will not exceed 15 years. The reason for this is the growing load on the network and excessive reliance on second-layer solutions, which, in his opinion, weaken the very architecture of Ethereum.

Thus, Cardano continues its strategy of development through integrations and innovations, betting on expanding its influence in the DeFi sphere and maintaining technological sustainability.
