Update #133 is out.

Start Monday fully up to speed on:

🔵 Cardano's first public research RFP, where you set your own price.
🔵 The Musashi Dojo pushing Leios to its limits.
🔵 Every 2026 budget project now funded on-chain.
🔵 A transaction record broken on purpose.

and be ready for what's up next..

Intersect Weekly Update #133 has it all: https://t.co/zPNpVgLq7X

Cardano Upgrade News 🛠️ 🗞️

A public Dijkstra testnet is now available! SPOs can begin onboarding using Node 11.1.3 on pv11. Epochs are 1-day in length.

Timeline:
- Protocol version 11 (Conway) on node 11.1.3
- Node 11.2 Pre-Release
- Hard Fork Initiation action
- Hard fork for protocol version 12 (Dijkstra) using node 11.2
- Integration and testing against the Dijkstra feature set (minus Leios)

Resources available in the next post. Happy testing!

@IOHK_Charles addresses Japan’s N.Avenue club at its roundtable on protecting privacy in the AI era. The future of finance isn’t TradFi vs. Web3. It’s the best of both, the trust and liquidity of traditional finance, with the speed and privacy of Web3.

“The future will be decentralized.” —Charles

ラウンドテーブルで、Charlesがビデオメッセージを寄せました。
金融の未来は従来の金融かWeb3かの二択ではなく、その両方の長所を兼ね備えたものになる。
自分が誰であるかを明かさずに、必要な事実だけを証明する。それを可能にするのがMidnightです。

We’ve temporarily taken the Intersect Members Area offline as a precaution following reports today of PHP security vulnerabilities.

Thanks for your patience while we assess any potential impact and complete the necessary checks.

We’ll provide an update when the Members Area is available again.

The five steps of the Leios rollout:

[Input Output Group @IOGroup]

Leios is coming to Cardano with the Dijkstra hard fork.

The goal? More room for transactions as network demand grows.

The rollout will happen in stages, starting at 3-5x today's throughput and aiming for 10-15x as mainnet results allow.

Here's how it will work 👇

understanding cardano governance has just got a lot easier!

check out the new interactive page that explains how cardano's governance model works, from the three bodies, governance action types and the treasury.

bookmark it and share it with anyone thinking of submitting a treasury withdrawal.

Things are heating up in the Musashi Dojo!

🔥 Fire Phase - stress testing Leios

Tune in to two office hours with the development team tomorrow, October 15.

Details below 👇

[Sebastian Nagel @ch1bo_]

If you want to participate as an SPO or just witness what is going on, find us on discord https://t.co/4sw7FybZjo. We are hosting two office hours tomorrow, 2026-10-15 at

8 UTC https://t.co/fNLgTozL7Q

and

18 UTC https://t.co/BO6Srbd6h1

[Sebastian Nagel @ch1bo_]

Welcome to the 🔥 phase of the Musashi Dojo!

Tomorrow we will have a distributed load testing day on https://t.co/A2Noxnnpqn testnet

This is slightly different than our normal load duty cycle because the load will be fully crowd sourced by the participating SPOs!

Constitutional Amendement Proposals (CAP) 📝

CAP Review sessions take place every 2 weeks, alternating between early and late sessions to accommodate different time zones. This week is an early session. Join the call to discuss current proposals, including the Dijkstra era parameters.

🗓️ October 15, 2026
🕖️ 7AM UTC
📍 https://t.co/WOvGez8Ws1

The Cardano community was out in force tonight at the Midnight Enterprise Table @sohohouse Tokyo!
What began with #Cardano is shaping what's next in rational privacy, real-world adoption, and a new chapter for blockchain.
Great to stand alongside this incredible community!

Update #132 is out to keep you up to date with Ecosytem news: https://t.co/t2mMnCPcP1

🟠 Programmable tokens live on mainnet.
🟠 ~30% of block production on Cardano mainnet is still on node versions older than 11.1.2, three weeks after release.
🟠 Veridian spun out as an independent company with its shares tokenized under the new standard.
🟠 And CAP-12 came back revised after a comment caught a flaw.
Read in detail 👇

The Musashi Dojo enters its Fire phase.

We're raising the load on the Leios testnet step by step, testing the protocol and hardening the code to production grade at each level.

By the end, we'll know how far Leios can go and how to tune it for mainnet.
