Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently took to the X social media platform, previously known as Twitter, to engage the crypto community with a hypothetical poll about integrating Bitcoin Cash with Cardano. The poll, which quickly gathered over 12,000 votes, showed a significant majority of 66.3% in favor of the integration, reflecting a strong community interest in the proposal.
Details of the Proposed Integration
The integration Hoskinson proposed involves enhancing Bitcoin Cash with Cardano’s partnerchain concept, which includes advancements like Useful Proof of Work Leios, NiPoPoWs (Non-Interactive Proofs of Proof-of-Work), and Ergo technology. This would potentially make Bitcoin Cash the “fastest and most useful proof of work chain ever built,” according to Hoskinson.
Community and Expert Reaction
The positive response on X was complemented by supportive commentary from industry figures such as Ben Scherrey, founder and CTO of blockchain firm Biggest Lab. Scherrey highlighted the “natural synergy between the two chains,” given their shared use of the UTXO model that enhances scalability and decentralization.

Technical and Developmental Considerations
While the poll indicates community backing, the actual implementation of such a partnership between Cardano and Bitcoin Cash would require complex technical integrations and consensus among developers and stakeholders. This comes as Cardano is gearing up for significant updates, including the “Chang” hardfork and the new “Ouroboros Leios” proof-of-stake model slated for later this year.
