I’m really proud of how Intersect’s council operationalized its seat despite the institutional challenges and being able to ensure independent decision making. I made a personal pledge to honor any and every decision the Council made, and execute their decision in full. Credit

TODAY - cohosting with Jack B ⎋ a convo with a few projects whitelisted by DReps for Intersect budget that may be new to you-- Haus, NFT CDN, and the Event Pavilions project. Come find out what they plan to deliver and talk with the teams directly! 💪

Guiding the next step in the budget process! The constitutional budget process is advancing, and while the ₳275.3M Budget Info Action still awaits approval, we want to be ready if it passes. ₳3.8B in DRep sentiment shaped what’s in this budget, but there are varied views on

DReps - your voice is needed! It’s almost time for Intersect to complete the Cardano Budget process by putting Treasury Withdrawal Governance Actions on chain. Intersect is asking for your vote on how to proceed. Please read the material below and participate in their final

I've been in the new role for over a month now and, while we still have plenty to do, I think we're making good progress on all fronts - including being better listeners. Wanted to use this opportunity to highlight some of my team (who are on X at least!). I know how hard these
