State of Cardano Q1 2024

Welcome to the fifteenth edition of the Intersect Development Report! This edition includes applications to run a constitutional workshop, a Chang update including CIP-0069, new member resources, community tooling, and the latest from our community hubs. Let’s dive into the details!<h2 style="margin-left:0px;">Apply to host a constitutional workshop!</h2>We are excited to announce the next step in Cardano’s governance journey—a global consultation process to produce a draft Constitution, created by the community itself, leading up to the Constitution Convention in Buenos Aires in December.Intersect members - you now have the opportunity to host and run consultation workshops in your local area, wherever you are in the world, funded by dedicated Intersect grants. Read more <a href="https://www.intersectmbo.org/news/community-consultation-on-the-next-steps">here</a> and learn how to apply on our <a href="https://docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-community-grants/open-grants/constitutional-workshops">knowledge base</a>. Applications will close on June 13th.<h2 style="margin-left:0px;">Chang upgrade</h2>The developments to Chang are continuing, with our hard-fork working group discussing how best to incorporate CIP-0069 into the scope. The hard-fork working group has raised a formal change request to include CIP-0069 in the Chang upgrade!As part of the late change request, we have formed a backlog working group to discuss how scope changes are decided in the future. We recommend you <a href="https://docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-overview/intersect-committees">check here</a> for working group updates on our knowledge base if you are interested. You can view the Chang timeline and some of the frequently asked questions by the hard-fork working group <a href="https://docs.intersectmbo.org/cardano/cardano-upgrades/hard-forks/chang-timeline">here.</a><h2 style="margin-left:0px;">Delivery assurance</h2>Continuity partner WellTyped, has successfully reached the <a href="https://docs.intersectmbo.org/cardano/cardano-continuity/milestone-report-q1-2024">LSM project's</a> important milestone by demonstrating to the engineering team code paths for creating, opening, and performing batch lookups within LSM run files, including tests and benchmarks.<h2 style="margin-left:0px;">UTxO-LMDB solution</h2>The Input Output Infrastructure (IOI) team has been working on improvements to allow out-of-memory storage of key data structures used by the Cardano node. Bounding the node's total memory usage will ensure long-term scalability for stake pools, wallets, and other node users.The solution will move the UTxO, stake address &amp; delegation, and stake distribution from memory to out-of-memory storage, bounding the amount of RAM required and taking advantage of modern SSDs. Engineers at IOI have been developing the first solution using the off-the-shelf Lightning Memory-Mapped Database (the UTxO-LMDB Solution) for around a year.More updates will be announced in the coming weeks, and volunteers will be sought to assist with development testing and tuning. You can also find out more information <a href="https://updates.cardano.intersectmbo.org/tags/consensus">here</a>.<h2 style="margin-left:0px;">Working group updates</h2>The Open Source committee has published a ‘State of the Union’ document, which provides a story on Open Source - issues, strategy pillars, workflow mapping, pilot roadmaps, and more.Read it <a href="https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1ldRYTO2VzjfJ3DeI001J1Vdfz-zbTWAsu5PRAQ71M3A/edit#slide=id.g23bd5b9225e_0_6">here</a>.<h2 style="margin-left:0px;">New member resources</h2>We’ve created shared resources for Intersect members to create material to support their working groups and local meet-ups!

This phase will be activated after the first change hard fork, allowing DReps to register and attract delegation before fully participating in governance.The bootstrap phase can be exited via an intra-era hard fork, voted for by SPOs and constitutional committees. On the mainnet, this hard fork will be known as the second Chang hard fork, enabling full governance functionality for Cardano.

Intersect Development Update #15 - May 24th

Genius Yield continues to move forward with our community. To reward our community, in December 2022 we introduced the <a href="https://geniusyield.medium.com/introducing-the-genius-yield-staking-dapp-acdee47f753e">Genius Yield Staking Program</a>, allowing GENS holders to participate in the Genius Yield platform by staking their tokens and receiving a fixed APY of GENS rewards. This program has been a success with over 20 million GENS staked and around 2.5 million GENS claimed as rewards.TL;DR<ul><li>Locked staking — the possibility to create a staking vault with fixed APY on GENS ends April 28th, 2024</li><li>Fixed APY on GENS is replaced with reward multipliers on DEX fees rewards, starting May 3rd, 2024</li><li>Between the 29th of April and the 2nd of May, 2024, harvesting, unstaking, and creating new staking vaults will be halted, due to migration between the old and new staking system</li><li>An additional 1.5M GENS is added to the GENS Staking Program, starting May 3rd, 2024</li><li>Flex staking is introduced, starting May 3rd, 2024</li><li>Genius and Mascot NFTs utilities remain unchanged. NFTs staking will be available until December 31st, 2025</li></ul>In January 2024, the <a href="https://twitter.com/GeniusyieldO/status/1753118993156813248?s=20">DEX Fee Sharing Program</a> was launched, allowing GENS stakers to claim 20% of fees generated by the DEX. DEX fee sharing represents a key milestone of the Genius Yield platform and a unique utility of the GENS token, allowing GENS stakers to collect dozens of different tokens that are traded on the DEX. The DEX Fee Sharing Program also creates long-term sustainability for GENS stakers, where GENS stakers’ rewards are linked with the use of Genius Yield’s DEX.<h1 style="margin-left:0px;">Transition to V2 GENS Staking Program</h1>With the introduction of the DEX Fee Sharing Program, we will begin to phase out the fixed APY in the GENS reward option.Fixed APY rewards in GENS will end at 23:59:59 UTC on April 28th, 2024.Starting May 3rd, 2024, rewards will only be based on the DEX Fee Sharing Program. To smooth this transition, an additional 1.5 million GENS will be allocated to GENS stakers on a declining supply curve using a methodology similar to Cardano’s mechanism that is used to reward those who stake their ADA to stake pools. Cardano pays staking rewards from two sources, ADA reserves and Cardano transaction fees. Reserves gradually decline as a greater share of the rewards comes from growing transaction fees caused by the increasing adoption of the Cardano blockchain. We will deploy a very similar mechanism to gradually phase out GENS rewards with a growing share of the rewards coming from growing DEX fees as more users utilize Genius Yield’s DEX.<h1 style="margin-left:0px;">Flex Staking</h1>Based on popular demand, we are introducing a Flex Staking option for GENS stakers! With flex staking, your GENS are never locked, allowing you to employ more sophisticated trading or DeFi strategies with your GENS.Check the details below.<h1 style="margin-left:0px;">Merging GENS Staking and DEX Fee Sharing Programs</h1>On May 3rd, 2024, the GENS Staking Program will effectively be merged with the DEX Fee Sharing Program, allowing GENS holders to choose between various staking options and APY amplification opportunities.With an additional 1.5M GENS allocated, the V2 GENS Staking Program not only adds more flexibility, but also creates a unique opportunity to earn even more rewards passively!Depending on the option chosen, GENS stakers will be eligible to do:1. Flex Staking:<ul><li>Participate in the DEX Fee Sharing Program: earn part of the 20% fees collected by the DEX</li><li>Participate in Tier 2 of the Accelerated Yield Program (additional conditions apply, please check the details <a href="https://geniusyield.medium.com/accelerated-yield-is-coming-to-genius-yields-dex-d0b4e60a2508">here</a>)</li><li>Utilize your Genius NFTs and Mascot NFTs</li></ul>2. Locked Staking:<ul><li>Participate in the DEX Fee Sharing Program: earn part of the 20% fees collected by the DEX AND receive additional yield amplification — details in the table below</li><li>Participate in Tier 2 of the Accelerated Yield Program (additional conditions apply, as above)</li><li>Utilize your Genius NFTs and Mascot NFTs</li></ul>GENS Locked Yield Staking Vaults<img class="image_resized" style="width:680px;" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*iH2tikwouOS6Olevz-mudg.png" alt="" loading="lazy">APR: A rolling 30-day APR will be computed using the last 30 days of GENS stakers’ rewards.The longer you stake, the more DEX Fee rewards you’ll receive.Below is an example:<ol><li>ADA rewards for periodₙ from DEX Fees = 1,000.0</li><li>GENS rewards for periodₙ from DEX Fees = 3,000.0</li></ol><img class="image_resized" style="width:680px;" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*pkVB5L1e81wCAQWR1m9osQ.png" alt="" loading="lazy">Rewards numbers are rounded.<h1 style="margin-left:0px;">Future of Genius NFTs and Mascot NFTs</h1>Genius Yield’s <a href="https://www.jpg.store/collection/geniusnfts">Genius NFTs</a> and <a href="https://www.jpg.store/collection/geniusyieldmascotcontest">Mascot NFTs</a> are utility NFTs offered to the community that allows GENS stakers to access <a href="https://docs.geniusyield.co/staking-dapp/staking-dapp-features">increased GENS APYs</a> between 2% to 6% for up to a year. In keeping with our promise to the community that these NFTs could be utilized for up to three years, both Genius and Mascot NFTs APY boosters can be used when staked until 23:59:59 UTC on December 31, 2025.When exercised, each NFT will receive its additional GENS-specific APY for one year or the remaining days of utility available. To check an NFT’s remaining days of utility, copy and paste the NFT’s Fingerprint / Asset ID <a href="https://app.geniusyield.co/earn">here</a>.Key Points:<ol><li>Starting at 00:00:00 UTC on January 1, 2026, you will no longer be able to stake your Genius or Mascot NFT — For example, a GENS holder stakes their Genius NFT in August 2025 to the six-month vault to get a 2% APY in GENS. In February 2026, the GENS staker decides to claim their GENS rewards and unstake their GENS and Genius NFT. After checking the <a href="https://app.geniusyield.co/earn">remaining days of utility</a>, the GENS staker sees there is six months left of utility to receive a 2% APY in GENS. In this scenario, the staker will not be able to stake their Genius NFT anymore because the deadline to stake the Genius NFTs, 23:59:59 UTC on December 31, 2025, has passed.</li><li>As long as you stake before the deadline, you can receive the maximum time remaining on your Genius or Mascot NFT — For example, on December 30, 2025, a GENS holder decides to stake his GENS with a Genius NFT. As their Genius NFT has never been staked and has a full year of utility available, the GENS holder selects the 12-month vault. In this scenario, the staker will be able to stake their Genius NFT and receive 12 months of a 2% APY in GENS. Since the Genius NFT was exercised before the deadline, the GENS staker can get the full 12-month utility time of the APY boost by selecting the appropriate staking vault.</li><li>Rewards for the Genius and Mascot NFT will be in GENS — If staked before the deadline, the 2% to 6% APY rewards will be in GENS. GENS stakers who stake their NFTs will have the benefit of getting DEX Fee sharing rewards and GENS rewards simultaneously.</li></ol>Thank you for unwavering support and we look forward to the future where the community continues to get more utility through the Genius Yield platform.Visit our social links below:<a href="https://www.geniusyield.co/">Website</a> | <a href="https://app.geniusyield.co/">DeFi Platform</a> | <a href="https://t.me/geniusyield_official">Telegram</a>| <a href="https://discord.gg/TNHf4fs626">Discord</a> | <a href="https://geniusyield.medium.com/">Medium</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/GeniusyieldO">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Genius_Yield/">Reddit</a> | <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0Lw_flS1WokWYH9ZHIQv2g">YouTube</a> | <a href="https://instagram.com/genius_yield_official">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://github.com/geniusyield/">GitHub</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;

Between March 11 and 17, Cardano recorded an impressive total of 978,780 commits on GitHub, showcasing its proactive approach to advancing its platform. In comparison, Ethereum, a leading blockchain platform, trailed behind with 407,170 commits during the same period.Advertisement<a href="https://coinbase-consumer.sjv.io/c/1374354/1949085/9251" target="_blank"><img src="https://a.impactradius-go.com/display-ad/9251-1949085" alt /></a>
 
This significant lead in GitHub activity underscores Cardano’s dedication to attracting developers and enhancing its ecosystem.
The rise of Cardano’s developer activity also sheds light on the broader trend of increasing engagement across layer-1 (L1) blockchain protocols. Avalanche (AVAX) recorded 315,770 commits, demonstrating a strong commitment to innovation and growth. 
Similarly, Litecoin (LTC) and Tron (TRX) showed notable developer engagement, with 84,110 and 79,380 commits, respectively. Despite these efforts, these networks still lag behind Cardano in terms of overall developer activity.
Developer engagement is a critical metric for evaluating a blockchain protocol’s potential growth and evolution. High-commit counts indicate an active developer community working on decentralized applications (dApps) and improving the network’s capabilities.
This continuous development work is essential for enhancing the functionality and resilience of the blockchain network over time.

Despite Cardano’s strong developer activity, its price performance has not mirrored this success. ADA has been trading below the $1 mark since April 2022 and is currently priced at $0.63, reflecting a 0.18% surge in the past 24 hours. Despite the positive GitHub commit data, ADA has experienced a decrease of 20.66% over the past week.
However, several analysts have recently <a target="_blank" href="https://zycrypto.com/1-ada-price-looking-nigh-as-cardano-sees-crazy-surge-in-active-wallets-and-increased-defi-activity/">expressed</a> optimism about the asset, forecasting a new record high in the coming days. For instance, X user <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/ali_charts/status/1764736034594545961">Ali Charts </a>drew parallels between the coin’s current performance and its past bull cycle, suggesting a potential “parabolic” surge to<a target="_blank" href="https://zycrypto.com/cardano-may-have-just-ignited-game-on-face-for-10-ada-price-in-this-super-cycle/"> reach as high as $10</a>.
