Intersect

1/ The Cardano Budget Process 2026 facilitated by Intersect is now live. As part of the process Intersect has submitted a proposal focused on continued governance coordination and technical stewardship. Proposal: buff.ly/vaclwYu FAQs: buff.ly/cSWDh8a The aim: to help Cardano remain secure, reliable, resilient, and ready for what comes next.

It has been encouraging to see many SPOs already upgrading to node 11.0.1 ahead of the hard fork and encouraging others. We would like to take a moment to share some posts that we have seen in the community so far, please RT your announcements in the comments if we've missed you! 🧵 github.com/IntersectMBO/c…
