Midnight

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has shared fresh insights into potential collaboration opportunities between the Cardano and XRP ecosystems. 
Speaking during an <a href="https://youtu.be/Y70gd9rHjtE?si=E7TvFgrLr6Ldb6wr">interview</a> on the Cardano-focused YouTube channel Big Pey, Hoskinson disclosed details about his recent discussions with Ripple executives Brad Garlinghouse and David Schwartz. 
Hoskinson described the meeting as constructive, marking a notable improvement in their relationship. He emphasized that both parties have moved past prior tensions, fostering an atmosphere conducive to meaningful dialogue.

The discussions centered on the distinctive roles that Cardano and XRP play within the broader cryptocurrency space and possible synergies between the two ecosystems. According to Hoskinson, the conversation delved into areas where collaboration could promote innovation and wider adoption of blockchain technologies. 
Key elements of the proposed partnership include leveraging Cardano’s Midnight and Marlowe technologies. Midnight is a privacy-focused sidechain within the Cardano ecosystem, while Marlowe provides a suite of tools designed to simplify the creation of smart contracts on Cardano.

Hoskinson revealed that XRP could be integrated into Cardano’s Midnight sidechain, potentially enhancing the platform’s overall utility. Midnight operates on a dual-token model featuring two core tokens: NIGHT, used for transactions, and DUST, the governance and staking token. 
If realized, XRP could become a third token within the Midnight framework, offering alternative functionality. Hoskinson suggested that XRP could serve as a supplementary transaction token, though he clarified that these plans are yet to be finalized.

In addition to Midnight, the integration of XRP with Marlowe was also explored. Hoskinson hinted that Marlowe might align better with XRP’s use case compared to ADA, Cardano’s native cryptocurrency.

Beyond Midnight and Marlowe, Hoskinson expressed interest in <a href="https://timestabloid.com/ripple-president-ripple-is-ready-customers-already-line-up-to-use-rlusd/">Ripple’s upcoming stablecoin, RLUSD.</a> This digital asset, recently <a href="https://timestabloid.com/rlusd-wins-regulatory-approval-ripple-ceo-confirms-heres-what-is-next/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), is set to launch on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum. 
Hoskinson stated that Cardano would like to play a role in the stablecoin’s ecosystem. This could potentially involve Ripple deploying RLUSD on Cardano at a later stage, following its initial launch.

Speculation about collaboration between Cardano and Ripple has been circulating in the crypto community for weeks. The turning point came on November 10, when Hoskinson issued a <a href="https://timestabloid.com/cardano-creator-apologizes-to-xrp-community-wants-to-participate-in-rlusd/">public apology to the XRP community</a>, signaling an end to years of hostility. 
Shortly after, <a href="https://timestabloid.com/cardano-creator-and-ripple-cto-meeting-fuels-possible-partnership/">Hoskinson met with Garlinghouse and Schwartz </a>to explore opportunities for cooperation. He underscored the importance of moving beyond past conflicts to focus on advancing blockchain technology and creating value for their respective ecosystems. 
While no official announcements have been made, the discussions between Cardano and Ripple executives hint at promising possibilities for collaboration soon.
