Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson recently posted a “hypothetical poll” on the X social media platform asking the crypto community if they’d like to see a Cardano and Bitcoin Cash integration.&nbsp;
The poll received more than 12,000 votes in its first 24 hours with a 66.3% early majority voting “Yes” to the proposal.

As mentioned above, Hoskinson labeled his poll as being hypothetical. However, as Elon Musk has shown since his purchase of the X platform, it’s possible to use the platform as a steering point for decision-making. 
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “Would you like to see Bitcoin Cash become a Cardano Partnerchain upgraded with Useful Proof of Work Leios, NiPoPoWs, and Ergo tech, thus being the fastest and most useful proof of work chain ever built?”
</blockquote>
Ben Scherrey, founder and chief technology officer of blockchain firm Biggest Lab, <a href="https://twitter.com/proteusguy/status/1787056066762850505" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">posted</a> commentary in favor of the move, stating that he’d “always thought there was some natural synergy between the two chains given the shared UTXO model that allows for high scalability and decentralization.”
While the community appears to support the idea of a Bitcoin Cash and Cardano integration, how such a partnership would form and function is a bit murky.
On the technology side, Hoskinson used the term “partnerchain.” This seems to imply Bitcoin Cash (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/bitcoin-cash-price-index">BCH</a>) would have to be bridged or cross-chained in some form in order to operate with the proposed upgrades. 
Assuming both development teams could agree on the technical aspects of the partnership, there would still need to be a consensus among stakeholders and developers. 
Hoskinson’s discourse on social media comes as Cardano prepares for two “major upgrades” in 2024. As Cointelegraph recently reported, the company is preparing for the “Chang” hard fork slated for sometime in the second quarter of 2024, as well as a&nbsp;<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/charles-hoskinson-highlights-major-upgrades-cardano-amid-recent-criticism">new proof-of-stake model called “Ouroboros Leios</a>.” 
Hoskinson lauded the pending upgrades in his response to an April 7 video posted by crypto influencer Ben “Bitboy” Armstrong. In the video, Armstrong referred to Cardano as “dead.”
