Voting in the Intersect election season? Here’s the how, when, and why you should!
As the Cardano blockchain advances toward its goal of becoming the most decentralized blockchain ever, Intersect is leading the way with another groundbreaking election season. Kicking off with the board elections occurring in September, we then proceed to the committee elections in October.
Constitutional Committee Elections 2025: What happened, who was selected, how it worked – and why it matters
In 2025, Cardano crossed a historic threshold: the first election of a fully community-elected Constitutional Committee (CC) – the body charged with guarding the Cardano Constitution and deciding whether on-chain governance actions can move forward. With seven members confirmed and the interim committee being replaced on-chain, Cardano entered a new phase of decentralization.
Intersect Development Update #78 – September 5
Welcome to Intersect’s Development Update #78. This week saw significant progress across delivery and governance: a total of 18 out of 37 Treasury Withdrawal Actions have now been successfully funded via vendor smart contracts, candidate registration has opened for the Intersect Board elections, and the fully elected Constitutional Committee is set to take its seat. We’re also preparing for upcoming community events, including the India/APAC Hackathon and TOKEN2049 Singapore.
Intersect Development Update #77 – August 29
Welcome to Intersect’s Development Update #77. Wow, what a week it has been here at Intersect. The first on-chain vendor smart contracts were signed, and the first milestone payment was successfully withdrawn. Candidate registration for the Intersect Board elections, and the governance action to transition from the Interim to the community-approved Constitutional Committee has passed the voting threshold. We’re also launching new working groups, rolling out the Intersect Incubation Program, and spotlighting INKUBA, one of our Enterprise Members.
The first on-chain vendor smart contracts have been signed, and the first vendor milestones have been successfully withdrawn! This is not just a win for Cardano, but for the entire ecosystem — a testament to the collective effort of hundreds of contributors. Thank you all for making this a reality.
Announcing the Intersect Incubation Program
After more than a year of policy development and six months of trials, the Intersect Incubation Program is now live. The program supports projects within the Cardano ecosystem, guiding open-source hygiene, governance alignment, and community sustainability planning. Projects can benefit from mentorship, peer review, and greater ecosystem visibility. Learn more and apply here.
Intersect Board Election – candidate registration
From September 1 to 12, members can put themselves forward as candidates for the Intersect Board of Directors. This year brings something inspiring: the number of member-held seats doubles from two to four, giving our community unprecedented influence in shaping Intersect’s future.
