Charles Hoskinson Reveals Efforts to Integrate Chainlink, Bitcoin and Dogecoin into Cardano

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has revealed efforts of an integration with other altcoins. Speaking during an interview with Gokhshtein Media he said they are eyeing an integration with Chainlink, Bitcoin and Dogecoin.

Cardano uses Haskell, a functional programming language known for its high degree of fault tolerance and formal verification capabilities.

Haskell is less commonly used in blockchain development compared to languages like Solidity for Ethereum, which makes the development pool smaller but more specialised.

As such, it’s no surprise that there have been some difficulties in integrating the two codebases and tying together the two ecosystems.

“We need to get our Oracles sorted out. We can get Chainlink in. I don’t think that’s a financial problem. It’s just the work, and we’ve re-engaged those conversations,” said Hoskinson.

Cardano has been working on integrating with Bitcoin through the BitcoinOS and BOS Grail Bridge to enhance interoperability and unlock new avenues for tapping into Bitcoin’s deep liquidity.

Moreover, Cardano’s Lace wallet now supports Bitcoin, facilitating seamless multichain asset management.

Early-stage talks with Dogecoin were also on the agenda, aiming to explore possibilities for integration to amplify liquidity and utility within Cardano’s ecosystem.
