funny looking guy, working in web3… @intersectMBO

[Simo Simovic @SimoSimovicADA]

Please go and vote if you haven't already.

[Lozza @lozzaclay]

the @IntersectTSC proposal is nearly over the line at 66%, but the main @IntersectMBO proposal is still sitting at 56%.

these proposals don’t exist in separate worlds.
the main proposal funds the wider coordination and technical structure that supports Cardano’s committees and keeps important work moving.

make it make sense?

[LallyMcClay @LallyMcClay]

I’ll be casting my votes on remaining actions today.

Its not a lot of voting power, but by voting it does mean that mine, and my delegators voices are heard.

Whichever way you want these votes to go, please check that your DRep is taking part.

Participation will be decisive here, if a DRep doesn’t vote, their stake effectively counts as No - so unless you're ok with silence deciding outcomes - choose a DRep who votes! 🫡

[Simo Simovic @SimoSimovicADA]

Thanks @Hornan7 and the team for the all hard work.

[Mike Hornan ⚜️🇨🇦|ABLE| pool SPO @Hornan7]

Guys, this one matters. This isn't a joke. Since January, we've processed more than 186 vulnerability reports, and more than 30 of them turned out to be legitimate vulnerabilities that required intervention and fixes.

That's on top of everything else that's been happening behind the scenes to keep this blockchain secure, most of which I can't really talk about.And that's just the security side of what Intersect has been doing.

This work isn't optional. It's essential, and it has to be done if we want Cardano to remain secure and resilient.

If you believe this work is worth continuing, please consider voting "Yes."

[Simo Simovic @SimoSimovicADA]

Please check it out.

[Lozza @lozzaclay]

hey DReps,

the @IntersectMBO proposal only has 3 days left.

Intersect supports Cardano’s committees and working groups, has helped bring more than 45 governance actions on-chain and provides administration for projects that need it.

it also supports important technical work across the node, CLI, DB-Sync, APIs, ledger and incident response.

+ more....

please vote Yes.

[Jose De Gamboa @Bitcows]

Thank you @IntersectMBO!
Not just founding entities, and staff. But to the hundreds the engaged community members that generously have been building for years.
This coordination layer has been and will be the cornerstone of Cardano's hability to thrive.

[Simo Simovic @SimoSimovicADA]

Proud to be part of the @IntersectMBO team and to contribute to the work happening behind the scenes that helps move the Cardano ecosystem forward. Great read - worth your time. 💙

[Intersect @IntersectMBO]

If you read one thing this week, make it this.

Much of the work that keeps the ecosystem moving happens behind the scenes.

Read in depth our special update on the work that rarely makes headlines, but makes everything else possible.

If you've ever asked "Why Intersect?" 👇️

[Simo Simovic @SimoSimovicADA]

What you don't see 👇

[Intersect @IntersectMBO]

It's Late 2025: Cardano's Constitutional Committee was slipping below its minimum size and governance was heading for a stall.

Intersect quietly handled it. A snap election, registration, verifications, the vote, audits, on-chain submission. CC restored.

Then nothing happened. No crisis, because it was dealt with before it became one.

[Simo Simovic @SimoSimovicADA]

That is what we do!

[Intersect @IntersectMBO]

"Success comes from collaboration, all coming together."

When we talk infrastructure, we mostly think about code not coordination

In last year's chain partition incident, Intersect helped bring together ecosystem partners from across Cardano to share information, assess the situation and coordinate a response.

Gerard Moroney on why the wins you notice rest on coordination you don't:

[Simo Simovic @SimoSimovicADA]

What is your opinion?

[Intersect @IntersectMBO]

Everyone has an opinion about Intersect. So we wanted you to hear ours.

Understand the work, then decide for yourself.

Thank you to all DReps, SPOs and CC members who voted. 🗳️

*no other governance actions were harmed during this ratification

[IntersectCBC @IntersectCBC]

Attention DReps and Proposers:

The Budget Committee requests your feedback! If you participated in the 2026 Budget Process. We've created a short survey, that also links to a longer optional survey.

Intersect Budget Administration Services update

We are pleased to announce that today, July 2, 2026, Intersect facilitated the largest return of funds to date.

This action returned 21,000,000 ada to the treasury reserve smart contract from which the ada is able to be returned to the Cardano Treasury.

Following the transfer of Catalyst administration from IOG to the Cardano Foundation, the remaining milestones of Catalyst FC’s project, “Catalyst 2025 Proposal by Input Output: Advancing Decentralised Community Innovation Funding & Infrastructure,” have been cancelled, and the remaining funds have been successfully returned to the treasury reserve smart contract.

[Intersect Technical Steering Committee @IntersectTSC]

⏰ Under 2 hours left to vote on "Intersect Technical Steering Committee Support" on Intersect's Hydra Voting platform.
Dancing on the edge 😱: 68.7% vs the 67% needed. A handful of votes either way decides it.

Yesterday the maybe most unexpected moment of my professional career so far happened.

I was invited to the German Parliament to speak at a panel about Agent-To-Agent Payments using Blockchain.

An absolutely unreal moment.

The room was packed with politician & businesses. I spoke about our work with Masumi, the work with Serviceplan, how companies are hiring & selling agents on our agent marketplace today already and why we chose to build on Cardano.

Big shout-out and thanks to Bundesblock and Member of Parliament Marvin Schulz.

[Jack B @JBriggsLondon]

Last few hours left to vote on Intersect’s budget process! Amazing to see 4.4bn ada participating, surpassing last year.

We’ll work as fast as we can to get the passing proposals on-chain.

Big thanks to all the proposers who came into the process, spent the time engaging, and to all the DReps for voting ❤️
