Intersect Strengthens Open Source Strategy with Hyperledger Foundation Membership
We are thrilled to announce that Intersect, the member-based organization dedicated to the Cardano ecosystem, has joined the Hyperledger and Linux Foundations. This announcement was made during the Consensus event in Austin, Texas, marking a significant milestone in our journey toward open-source innovation and collaboration.
Community-led governance takes another step forward
Minimum viable on-chain governance
Minimum viable on-chain governance sums up several concepts and milestones that must work together to provide a cohesive and logical next-generation governance framework, signaling the road towards on-chain Cardano governance. The governance journey begins with an interim period to allow safe bootstrapping of on-chain governance through formal governance rules. These include off-chain protections and technical guardrails to protect the chain’s integrity and security as Cardano upgrades into a new era. The interim Constitution is an important document encapsulating these protections and must be in place to support the Chang upgrade and the subsequent bootstrapping period.
Intersect Development Update #15 – May 24th
Welcome to the fifteenth edition of the Intersect Development Report! In this edition, applications are open to run a constitutional workshop; Chang update including CIP-0069, new member resources, community tooling, and the latest from our community hubs.
Let’s dive into the details!
Community consultation on the next steps for Cardano’s governance is now open
The Chang upgrade marks a significant milestone for Cardano this year, as it puts the community at the forefront of blockchain governance. This journey includes drafting and ratifying a final Constitution, and we’re excited to announce that applications to host global workshops on drafting Cardano’s Constitution are now open!
Intersect Development Update #14 – May 17th
Welcome to the fourteenth Intersect development report! This week’s report includes an update on our new members’ area, FAQ’s on the Chang upgrade, community tooling, governance tooling, and more.
The DRep Pioneer Workshop Leaders Program – Educating the future of decentralized governance on Cardano
Implementing CIP-1694 will further enhance decentralization by bringing on-chain decision-making to Cardano. This important step will be realized through the two-phase Chang upgrade, a moment that has rallied the Cardano community since its inception in 2022. Decentralized on-chain decision-making for Cardano signifies a new era, ‘Voltaire,’ where the community directs its trajectory.
Intersect Development Update #13 – May 10th
Welcome to the thirteenth Intersect development report! As we delve into this week’s updates, we’re excited to share progress across various fronts.

Cardano’s Governance – Key terms and milestones
In November 2022, CIP-1694 was published and has since become the most active CIP in history. It describes a governance system that brings decision-making for the Cardano network on-chain. It seeks to advance the current governance system to ensure every ada holder has a voice in Cardano’s governance.
