Summit Video Campaign & Proof of Community Initiative
The Cardano Community Team recently launched a campaign inviting builders, applications, Stake Pool Operators (SPOs), NFT projects, memecoins, alliances, and other community initiatives to submit a 30-second promo video ahead of the Cardano Summit. These short teasers give participants a chance to introduce their projects before the event and connect with the wider community. Projects like Cexplorer.io, Andamio Platform, BlockSign, and Masumi Network /NMKR are already featured in the first community teaser, gaining early visibility ahead of the Summit in Berlin. Watch the teaser here on X.
Alongside this, the Proof of Community Summit Campaign gives builders, DApps, SPOs, NFT projects, memecoins, alliances, and other community initiatives the chance to shine in the Community Masterclass Room #1 by allowing them to put up a free roll-up banner. It’s a simple and effective way to showcase the ecosystem’s diverse talent during the Summit in Berlin. Full details and participation guidelines are on the Cardano Forum.
Intersect MBO Launches Committee Elections – Voting Open
Intersect MBO has launched its Committee Elections, giving members the opportunity to vote for representatives on its seven standing committees and help guide the next phase of Cardano’s journey.

Updates from the Cardano Foundation
Recently, the Cardano Foundation shared a few updates across technology, governance, adoption, and community engagement.
According to the Foundation’s latest blog post, the Q3 2025 Quarterly Report highlights steady progress across all three areas. It covers milestones like Cardano’s growing footprint in Latin America, the release of a new governance voting tool, collaborations with enterprises such as MembersCap and Agrow Labs, and education initiatives through the Cardano Academy and Venture Hub. The report also looks ahead to the Cardano Summit 2025 in Berlin, which will bring together leaders from finance, technology, and policy to explore real-world blockchain applications.
Following that update, the Cardano Summit website has now been updated with the full two-day agenda. It includes all Main Stage sessions, Masterclasses, and the complete speaker lineup. The event takes place from 12–13 November in Berlin, with a special “Day Zero” for builders and innovators on 11 November. View the full agenda.
Lastly, the Bolnisi Wine-Batch Tracker has also been rebuilt and relaunched on the Foundation’s website. The new version, built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and TypeScript, offers faster search, inline metadata viewing, and clear lot-level details. It’s a smoother, more transparent way to explore Cardano’s provenance data in action. Explore the updated tracker here.
