Today, a new Budget Info Action has been submitted for community consideration. The Cardano Critical Integrations Budget proposes an allocation of ₳70,000,000 from the Treasury to fund a coordinated program of ecosystem-critical integrations. It represents a coalition of Input | Output, EMURGO, the Cardano Foundation, Intersect, and the Midnight Foundation, demonstrating their shared commitment to addressing key ecosystem enablers as we look to hit the ground running in 2026.

Intersect’s governance actions pipeline
With on-chain governance in full swing and the successful rollout of smart contracts for budget administration, Cardano’s governance action processes have brought a new level of transparency.
Although a true testament to the Cardano community’s collaboration, the governance action process continues to offer the community a way to make key decisions about the blockchain’s future.
Given this forward momentum, we decided to outline the governance actions Intersect is working on, and you can expect to see plumbed into the network by the end of this year. These are the currently planned actions; expect things to change.
Constitutional Committee context
We are aware that a member of the Constitutional Committee (CC), the Atlantic Council, has indicated their intention to resign from the CC on November 25. Under the current constitutional guardrails, the CC must comprise at least seven members. As a result, this resignation will temporarily pause governance actions that require CC approval. We are actively working with the Civics Committee and the broader community to consider how on-chain governance operations can be restored as soon as possible, with further updates to follow shortly.
