Cardano and Litecoin founders to discuss cross-chain collaboration

Earlier today, Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson reached out to Litecoin co-founder Charlie Lee on Twitter-armed with an invitation for a possible cross-chain collaboration.

I love the idea of testing cross chain communication between Litecoin and Cardano.

Hoskinson asked if still worked, to which Lee was quick to inform that "Litecoin doesn't offer customer support."

He added that a relevant person from the Litecoin Foundation-an organization that oversees development on the open-source project-will reach out to Hoskinson soon.

DaddyCool1991 is Litecoin Foundation's Projects Director and he will reach out to chat.

Cardano combines "Pioneering technologies to provide unparalleled security and sustainability to decentralized applications, systems, and societies," its site notes.

The project has seen significant developments in the past few months, such as its work on Shelley and the native Daedalus wallet.

Litecoin, on the other hand, spun off from Bitcoin in 2011; and has been long called the "Digital silver." It was technically very similar to Bitcoin but featured a decreased block generation time, a modified GUI, and a different hashing algorithm.

Litecoin's work on MimbleWimble is active and progressing, as CryptoSlate reported this week.

While there's no discussion or confirmation on what project Cardano or Litecoin would work on, some observers suggested MimbleWimble could feature on ADA. Peer-reviewed scalability frameworks-a Cardano feature-could also spiral out.
