Could a Cardano & Litecoin Team Up Be in the Works?

Published at: July 7, 2020

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently said that he would not mind working with Litecoin founder, Charlie Lee, to test cross chain communication.

"It would be great to do something together," Hoskinson said in a July 7 tweet to Lee. 

Both men founded industry giants

Hoskinson founded Cardano (ADA), which, at press time, sits seventh on the list of crypto assets in market cap size, according to CoinMarketCap. Litecoin maintains the eighth spot. Both figure heads hold notable status in the crypto and blockchain space. 

"I love the idea of testing cross chain communication between Litecoin and Cardano. We got a lot of ideas and I'm sure you guys do too," Hoskinson also said in the tweet. 

Cointelegraph's list of the top 100 most influential people in crypto and blockchain positions Lee as the 13th most influential person in the industry, while Hoskinson has the 39th spot.
