Cardano’s next protocol upgrade is now approaching community review. The proposal outlines an Intra-Era hard fork to Protocol Version 11, introducing targeted improvements across Plutus performance, ledger consistency, and node-level security without changing transaction shape or transitioning to a new ledger era.

We’re pleased to share that Midnight Network, a fourth-generation blockchain bringing rational privacy to Web3, has officially joined Intersect as a new Enterprise-level member.

The Open Source Committee (OSC) is proud to announce the launch of the Intersect Bug Bounty Program. This new initiative reinforces our commitment to security, transparency, and community collaboration across the Cardano ecosystem.

The 2025 Q4 elections for Intersect committees have concluded; read on for details and results.

Voting for the committee elections opens Monday, October 27, 2025, at noon UTC. To be considered as an eligible voter, you must have become a paid member by noon UTC on Monday, October 27, 2025. The voting period will be open until noon UTC on November 7, 2025.

Intersect’s Technical Steering Committee has endorsed a series of parameter updates focused on improving smart contract capacity.

As we prepare for 2026, a joint initiative between the Cardano Foundation and Intersect’s Budget Committee has been hard at work reimagining the way we plan, review, and execute a Cardano budget process.

Intersect, the member-based organization supporting Cardano’s governance and ecosystem growth, is opening applications and nominations for the position of Executive Director (ED).

In a landmark election, Intersect is pleased to present the results of the 2025 Board of Directors election, with 269 unique members participating in the vote, representing 22% of all eligible members, four of the seven elected representatives were directly chosen from a pool of 20 initial candidates, a result that exceeded the required threshold of 10% and underscored the strength of member engagement.

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.

Wow, what a week it has been here at Intersect. The first on-chain vendor smart contract has been signed, and the first vendor milestone has been successfully withdrawn!

As Cardano’s Treasury grows, so too does the need for robust systems to manage and distribute funds in a secure, transparent, and auditable way.

Intersect is excited to today launch a new campaign website - highlighting our shared journey in the community-driven evolution of Cardano governance.

The Cardano Budget Committee decided on April 21st to provide a recommendation to DReps regarding the polling threshold used to determine which proposals are included in the budget information action from Intersect.

This blog post highlights the growing power of smart contracts in action.

The journey towards a decentralized, community-led governance model for Cardano continues to advance.
