A new poll is live on Ekklesia for DReps!
It asks for your input on how Treasury Withdrawals should be structured if our consolidated Budget Info Action is approved.
We want to hear from DReps early to help reduce friction, improve clarity, and ensure the structure aligns with community expectations 🧵
There's a new poll on Ekklesia for how @IntersectMBO will structure the treasury withdrawals.
As a budget committee member, i urge you to go and vote as it's a critical stepping stone to fund all the existing work within the ecosystem.

We continued our “Mastering Blockchain Technology & Building on Cardano” series today with the 2nd workshop at the University of Ruhuna's Engineering Faculty.
Students explored #Cardano’s technical architecture, UTXO vs. Account-based models, public/private keys, smart contract basics, and got hands-on with wallet demos using @lace_io .
Huge turnout, great energy, and plenty of curious minds ready to build! 💡🔥
📸 Here are some moments from today’s session.
We’re live at #Money2020EU@IOHK_Charles is taking the stage now, exploring how solutions like @MidnightNtwrk are enabling a compliant, privacy-first future for Web3, and how that’s accelerating the convergence of TradFi and DeFi. Follow along for exclusive live insights 🧵
What’s next for GovTool? Join us for a live community Q&A and open feedback session.

We're thrilled to share highlights from Workshop 01 of our Mastering Blockchain Technology & Building on Cardano series at the University of Ruhuna held this Wednesday! 🚀
With enthusiastic students from the Engineering Faculty in attendance, we explored the fundamentals of blockchain technology, the architecture of Cardano marking another important step in expanding blockchain education across #SriLanka 🇱🇰
This series is organized by @Coin_Ceylon x @IntersectMBO Sri Lanka Hub in collaboration with the @IEEEorg Student chapter of the University which will run through the month of June to inspire the next generation of builders, thinkers, and changemakers.
🎥 Dive into the energy, insights, and engagement from the session in this highlights video!
Proud of Intersect's Council for operationalizing their seat & ensuring independent decisions, despite challenges. I pledged to honor every call, fully backed by the Board. With gifted seats making way, Cardano's governance is making the right moves! #Cardano#Governance
Update on our Interim Constitutional Committee seat
Following announcements from @emurgo_io, @InputOutputHK, and @Cardano_CF, Intersect’s Constitutional Council will not be seeking election to the forthcoming Constitutional Committee.
This is a deliberate step as Intersect evolves, recommitting to its founding purpose and embracing its role as a lighter, neutral support layer for the Cardano ecosystem. This decision, made first by our member-led Council, then the Steering Committee and Governing Board, completes the mix of all appointed ICC seats stepping aside from re-election.
It is a move that also affirms Intersect’s new direction: to serve the Cardano ecosystem as a neutral enabler, creating conditions for builders, SPOs, developers, dApp teams, researchers, and governance thinkers to thrive.
A huge thank you to our members who have served in this volunteer role: @hoskytoken@Bitcows@M3RSEE@MauroAndreoliA@UbioObu@HephyPool@jsierrax, and previously @adanorthpool@ElCryptonaut@AdamRusch.
Intersect’s seat on the ICC will continue until the newly elected Committee takes effect on September 1, 2025. We extend our deepest gratitude for their foundational work during this interim period.
And don’t forget, registrations are still open for the Constitutional Committee elections. We encourage passionate individuals, collectives, or institutions to stand as candidates. Applications close May 31 at 18:00 UTC.

We’re talking about potentially unlocking $1.5 trillion in DeFi opportunities - that’s the power of this new cross-chain era for Bitcoin and Cardano.
Together with @FairgateLabs, Input | Output has worked to make this possibility a reality thanks to our ongoing strategic alliance in the BitVMX Alliance.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: interoperability is the key to scaling our industry forward to create new, seamless onramps for crypto veterans and interested newcomers. Cardano’s secure foundations and vibrant DeFi ecosystem. Bitcoin’s reach and seasoned developers. Both coming together to drive real-world financial utility on Bitcoin.
This is only the beginning.

The Cardano Foundation will not be seeking a seat in the current Constitutional Committee (CC) election run by @IntersectMBO.
It has been a privilege to serve as Interim CC members since the Chang Hard Fork in September 2024. We’re proud of the role we’ve played in interpreting and upholding the Constitution during this pivotal moment in Cardano’s governance journey.
With strong candidates like @tingvard, @CardanoAtlantic and @EasternCardano stepping up, we're confident in the CC's future.
Our commitment to supporting the CC remains steadfast, and we will continue to fulfill our responsibilities during the remainder of our Interim term.
Should the community call on us in challenging times, we stand ready to serve again, to protect the protocol and uphold the Constitution.
We also remain strong advocates for ensuring future CCs are properly resourced. This is essential to maintaining their independence and enabling the diligent execution of their responsibilities.
Here's more information on the elections: https://t.co/1xfZ3ZQXzW
Since its genesis block, Cardano has never stopped.
No downtime.
No outages.
Since day one.
Now it needs one more thing to reach its full potential: your vote!
Make it truly decentralized.
The age of Voltaire brings on-chain governance to Cardano! The community, along with DReps, SPOs, and committees, are now stewards for Cardano's development, guided by the constitution.
Informed and active participation is key to shaping Cardano's future. Discover 10 useful resources that help drive transparent and inclusive governance! 🧵

Prez @anuradisanayake will definitely explore options to bringing in transparency to his government, & i believe @IOHK_Charles & @IntersectSriL can bring in alot of support in this front. Kudos to @OfficialKavinda for his efforts on unveiling the use cases of cardano at the top!
JUST IN: 🇱🇰 The President of Sri Lanka meets with Intersect Board Director Kavinda Kariyapperuma to discuss the potential of blockchain, share the Intersect Development Report, and highlight efforts driving education, awareness, and real-world adoption through #Cardano $ADA.
Great work done by @OfficialKavinda and @IntersectSriL to explore more goverment backed blockchain opportunities! Good to see a fellow Sri Lankan driving the sri lankan cardano ecosystems and community to new heights. #Cardano#Blockchain#SriLanka
It was a pleasure to meet with the President of Sri Lanka H.E. President Anura Kumara Dissanayake @anuradisanayake and discuss the transformative potential of Blockchain Technology in Sri Lanka. Grateful for the opportunity to share the @IntersectMBO Development Report and highlight the work being done by @Coin_Ceylon x Intersect #SriLanka Hub in driving education, awareness, and real-world adoption through the @Cardano ecosystem.
