This week, Intersect submitted a Budget Info Action to the Cardano community. It proposes an aggregate budget of ₳275,269,340 to fund a set of ecosystem initiatives over a 12-month period. The number is significant, but it represents more than a funding request. It reflects the outcome of a structured, community-driven process that involved public input, delegated representative (DRep) voting, and alignment with the roadmap approved earlier this year. To understand how to interpret this proposal, it’s important to unpack what it represents, how it works, and what comes next.

The Cardano community answered the call in the 2025 Q1 committee elections, with 522 members, 27% of eligible voters, casting a total of 11839 ballots among 119 candidates competing for 36 seats across eight committees.

Intersect hosted five X Spaces as a facilitator where candidates could introduce themselves, and electors could inform their decisions. This strong turnout is a fantastic result not only for Intersect but for the broader progress of Cardano governance, and we’re grateful to everyone who participated in strengthening our democratic foundations.
