<a href="https://u.today/no-ada-cardano-founder-reacts-to-adas-exclusion-from-new-grayscale-fund">Cardano</a>, one of the leading blockchain platforms known for its focus on sustainability, scalability and interoperability, is poised for another significant advancement.
<a href="https://u.today/cardano-ada-charles-hoskinson-excited-at-defi-inflows-into-ecosystem">Charles Hoskinson</a>, the founder of Cardano, dropped hints about the network's imminent integration with Firefly. This revelation has sparked excitement among the Cardano community and drawn attention to the potential implications of this integration for the network's ecosystem and its users.
In a recent tweet, <a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1767652686281724294">Hoskinson</a> hinted at a Cardano integration with Firefly to test it out and see whether SPOs like it. In the long run, Hoskinson envisions running all infrastructure as containers and allowing for lightweight consensus. He mentioned that this project is being worked on with Blockfrost.
<blockquote>
 We are going to get a cardano integration done with firefly to test it out and then see if SPOs like it. Long term, it can run all infrastructure as containers and allow for lightweight consensus. It's a project we are working closely with Blockfrost on <a href="https://t.co/1r0X4uOmp5">https://t.co/1r0X4uOmp5</a>— Charles Hoskinson (@IOHK_Charles) <a href="https://twitter.com/IOHK_Charles/status/1767652686281724294?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 12, 2024</a>
</blockquote> 
In this context, FireFly from Hyperledger Labs is a multi-party system for enterprise data flows. It provides a purpose-built infrastructure for developing decentralized blockchain applications and addresses the layers of complexity that exist between low-level blockchain and high-level business processes and user interfaces.
It should be recalled that in January, <a href="https://iohk.io/en/blog/posts/2024/01/29/iog-announces-strategic-investment-in-blockfrost/">IOG</a> made a strategic investment in Blockfrost. The investment represented a shared commitment to evolve and decentralize a key piece of Cardano infrastructure.
The Cardano founder commented in response to a tweet from Cardano enthusiast Chris O, who discussed the concept of the "SuperNode," which could soon become a reality for Cardano.
"Chris O" suggests that Cardano's SuperNode might be similar to Firefly, which allows developers to create apps that can interact with multiple parties. The benefits for SPOs running a supernode that validates for many partner chains, in addition to Cardano, are projected to contribute to Cardano's economic growth.
