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.

Intersect Development Update #77 – August 29
Welcome to Intersect’s Development Update #77. Wow, what a week it has been here at Intersect. The first on-chain vendor smart contracts were signed, and the first milestone payment was successfully withdrawn. Candidate registration for the Intersect Board elections, and the governance action to transition from the Interim to the community-approved Constitutional Committee has passed the voting threshold. We’re also launching new working groups, rolling out the Intersect Incubation Program, and spotlighting INKUBA, one of our Enterprise Members.
The first on-chain vendor smart contracts have been signed, and the first vendor milestones have been successfully withdrawn! This is not just a win for Cardano, but for the entire ecosystem — a testament to the collective effort of hundreds of contributors. Thank you all for making this a reality. -
