Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently shared an update on the X platform about what’s in store for the Lace Wallet. He teased several exciting upgrades planned for the Cardano-based light wallet platform in the coming year.

In a recent post on X, Charles Hoskinson shared that Lace Wallet is set to launch on multiple platforms, alongside other exciting new features. Just days earlier, he expressed optimism about Lace becoming a “powerhouse” in 2025, as the migration of users from Nami to Lace continues to gain momentum.

Beyond Lace, the Cardano ecosystem is also working to improve other key projects. In November, Hoskinson had a technical discussion with Ripple’s CTO, David Schwartz, about Midnight and XRP. Midnight, Cardano’s privacy-focused blockchain project, is designed to ensure secure data handling while maintaining regulatory compliance. Hoskinson is confident in Midnight’s ability to drive advancements in privacy-centric decentralized applications (dApps) and broader blockchain innovation. Their discussion has sparked speculation about a potential collaboration between Cardano and Ripple.
Meanwhile, the Voltaire era, launched with the Chang Hard Fork upgrade in September, has marked a significant milestone for Cardano by transitioning governance to the community. Hoskinson stated that his final responsibility for the ecosystem is to remove any obstacles to this shift, pledging to address any issues that could delay progress this year.
