Building Together to Drive Cardano Forward

Intersect is a member-based organization for the Cardano ecosystem — putting the community at the center of Cardano’s development

Advancing Progress at the Intersection of Cardano and Its Community

Intersect empowers a distributed network of builders and contributors to share in the belief that every voice holds value and that building together is stronger. Members forge a secure, collaborative ecosystem to ensure Cardano's sustained growth and evolution in a safe space.

Our One is Made of Many

Maintaining Cardano’s core technology and developing a roadmap for the future attracts a diverse group of stakeholders. 
As a natural aggregation point - a Cardano town square - Intersect allows firms and organizations making contributions to the ecosystem to raise and elevate their voices on how Cardano should evolve.
