Charles Hoskinson Teases Major Deal with SpaceX – What’s Next for Cardano?

• A Cardano enthusiast has disclosed that there could be a massive partnership in the pipeline as co-founder Charles Hoskinson posts a picture of himself standing in front of a SpaceX rocket.
• This comes after Hoskinson recently confirmed a meeting with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.

A popular Cardano (ADA) advocate, Big Pey, has hinted that there could be a groundbreaking partnership between Cardano and SpaceX. Fascinatingly, his suspicion was triggered by a recent post by Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson where he was standing in front of a SpaceX rocket. According to Big Pey, this connects to a recent statement by Hoskinson that discloses that he is preparing to sign the biggest deal of his life.

Months ago, Hoskinson hinted at the possibility of engaging in a discussion with SpaceX owner Elon Musk. In a post in June, the Cardano co-founder explained that such “meetings” can only be pulled once. He also disclosed his decision to “wait for the big day”. Meanwhile, Hoskinson tweeted in April 2022 that he was willing to work with Musk to build a decentralized social media platform.

At that time, the CEO of Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, Ben Goertzel, lauded this idea, claiming such collaboration would be fun.

It would be good fun to build some advanced AI into this Hoskinson/Musk decentralized social system for reputation management and transparent, personalized automated feed curation, etc. Building the decentralized AI layer and reputation system for the Cardano/Hypercycle based, Musk-funded, free speech focused web3 social network sounds rather fun.

Cardano and Ripple Potential Collaboration

Days ago, CNF also reported that a Cardano and Ripple partnership could be in the pipeline after Hoskinson confirmed a meeting with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse. As we detailed, Hoskinson labeled Garlinghouse as a “great CEO” after disclosing that he was extremely collaborative. He also called the crypto community to unify, and push for a level playing field to “clear rules of the road”.

Meanwhile, the blockchain company that supports Cardano, Emurgo, recently disclosed a partnership with a smart contract operating system for BitcoinOS (BOS). According to the report, the BOS Grail bridge would be integrated into Cardano’s open-source blockchain ecosystem.

The founder and CEO of EMURGO commented on this:

This collaboration with BitcoinOS has the potential to unlock new cross-chain capabilities and further strengthen Cardano by granting Cardano users, projects, and developers secure, trustless access to the Bitcoin ecosystem. Supporting a more open and interconnected Web3 environment across different blockchains helps drive innovation and the adoption of DeFi and other decentralized solutions.

According to the CEO and Co-founder of BitcoinOS, this collaboration would unlock the maximum potential of the Cardano ecosystem. He also pointed out that his company has successfully changed what is fundamentally possible for Bitcoin and is now driving exponential growth for other ecosystems.

We are thrilled to reach this milestone with near-trustless BTC in one of the most distributed blockchains in the industry. BOS has consistently accelerated Bitcoin scaling through a full-fledged solution for dApps and L2s using the guarantees of zero-knowledge cryptography…Working with EMURGO to unlock the full potential of the Cardano ecosystem is a major testament to what BOS can do for the industry, beyond just Bitcoin.

At press time, ADA was trading at $0.62 after surging by 7% in the last 24 hours.
