Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson hinted at potential collaborations with Ripple (XRP) and the Internet Computer (ICP) ecosystem and shed light on ongoing talks with prominent figures in the industry.
Hoskinson revealed that there have been discussions with Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer David Schwartz and CEO Brad Garlinghouse regarding the implementation of Ripple’s new stablecoin, RLUSD. While the talks are still in the early stages, Hoskinson said the collaboration is a “strong possibility.”
“They told us to wait until March because they had just finished the NYDFS [New York Department of Financial Services] process and that was a very intense thing,” Hoskinson said. “So we’ll start again in a month and a half and see if there’s a roadmap and how they’re going to do it.”
The ADA founder also touched on the possibility of working with DFINITY, the team behind Internet Computer (ICP). He admitted that ICP was one of the “top blockchain candidates” for Wyoming’s blockchain initiatives but was unfairly singled out.
“It’s potentially possible,” Hoskinson said of the collaboration with DFINITY founder and chief scientist Dominic Williams. “ICP was very unhappy that they were left out. They were one of the best blockchain candidates for what Wyoming wanted to do, and they were left out for no reason.”
“There are a lot of good people in this ecosystem, there are great scientists as well,” he said, adding that he appreciated ICP’s contributions to blockchain technology.
