Charles Hoskinson Explores Cardano-Bitcoin Cash Integration in Community Poll
Cardano's founder, Charles Hoskinson, recently conducted a hypothetical poll on the X social media platform, probing the crypto community's interest in a potential integration between Cardano and Bitcoin Cash.
Despite Hoskinson’s characterization of the poll as speculative, it garnered significant attention, with over 12,000 votes within the initial 24 hours, and a notable 66.3% majority expressing support for the idea.
Ben Scherrey, founder and chief technology officer of blockchain firm Biggest Lab, voiced favorable commentary on the potential collaboration, citing synergies between the two chains due to their shared UTXO model, facilitating scalability and decentralization.
While enthusiasm for the proposed integration is evident within the community, the practical implementation of such a partnership remains uncertain. Hoskinson’s mention of a “partnerchain” implies that bridging or cross-chaining would be necessary for Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to operate with the proposed upgrades.

Achieving consensus among stakeholders and developers would be crucial for the realization of this partnership, assuming alignment on the technical front between the development teams.
Hoskinson’s engagement on social media coincides with Cardano’s preparations for two significant upgrades in 2024, including the “Chang” hard fork scheduled for the second quarter and the introduction of a new proof-of-stake model named “Ouroboros Leios.”
In response to criticisms regarding Cardano’s vitality, particularly a video by crypto influencer Ben “Bitboy” Armstrong labeling Cardano as “dead,” Hoskinson emphasized the forthcoming upgrades and ongoing development efforts within the Cardano ecosystem.
