Procurement end-to-end solution
Cardano was founded on the belief that the current global legacy architecture is outdated and no longer fit for purpose. Intersect, a non-profit member-based organization, supports the evolution of Cardano’s on-chain governance and advances its core infrastructure development through its members and distributed development. This also includes facilitating a budget process to propose funding a diverse roadmap that matches ecosystem priorities, which are submitted as governance actions for on-chain approval by ada holders.

Cardano’s delegate-endorsed Constitution – now on-chain for DReps and the ICC to consider
Cardano is taking the next step in its governance journey by developing and implementing its first community-driven Constitution. Crafted with input from 1,400 contributors across 63 workshops in 50 countries, this Constitution represents the community vision and shared values, and confirms a key check and balance within Cardano’s governance model. In December 2024 the 63 elected delegates came together at the Constitutional Convention in Buenos Aires and Nairobi and voted 95% in favor of approving the draft Constitution for an on-chain vote.
