Intersect Development Update #68 – June 27

Welcome to Intersect’s Development Update #68. This week, we move closer to submitting Treasury Withdrawal Actions, with smart contract safeguards now complete and new administration policies published to support transparency and accountability.

We also highlight the final days to vote in the Constitutional Committee election, continued progress on GovTool, updates from the Open Source Program, and a spotlight on our newest enterprise member, Bloxico. Plus, don’t miss the launch of the Intersect Enterprise Forum and news from our global community hubs.

Intersect’s role as budget administrator – enabling accountable decentralization

Following the implementation of CIP1694 at the Chang Upgrade, Cardano has entered a new era of decentralized governance, accompanied by a new level of responsibility. At the heart of this shift is the Cardano treasury, a shared resource intended to fund community-driven development, innovation, and stewardship. But managing public funds at scale in a decentralized ecosystem presents a complex challenge: how do we ensure transparency, trust, and delivery without compromising openness?

Treasury withdrawal security – verifying governance action authors.

As Cardano governance enters a new phase of on-chain action, Intersect is preparing to facilitate the submission of a significant number of treasury withdrawal proposals. These actions, made on behalf of community-approved initiatives, require a robust and transparent process to maintain trust, particularly as volumes increase and scrutiny intensifies.

Intersect Development Update #67 – June 20

Welcome to Intersect’s Development Update #67. This week, we mark a significant milestone with the successful completion of the smart contract demonstration on the mainnet, laying the groundwork for upcoming Cardano treasury withdrawals. Alongside this, we’ve published our first iteration of administration policies to support transparency and delivery assurance, launched the second cohort of our Developer Advocate Program, and confirmed the first sessions of our relaunched Town Hall and AMA, as well as the Enterprise Forum series. Community hubs continue to drive education and engagement worldwide, with strong activity in Sri Lanka, Africa, and Japan.
