In our recent Catalyst Africa Townhall, we engaged in a deep and insightful discussion on the pivotal role of Intersect in Cardano’s evolving governance structure. The session was led by Bernard, a dedicated member of the Cardano Developer Advocate community, who provided valuable insights into what the Intersect MBO (Member-Based Organization) is all about and its significance in the Cardano ecosystem.
Key Highlights:
- What is Intersect MBO? Intersect is a newly established MBO designed to be a cornerstone in Cardano’s decentralized governance model. It brings together various stakeholders—including developers, companies, and individual members—to collaboratively shape the future of the Cardano protocol.
- How to Become a Member: Bernard walked us through the process of becoming a member of Intersect, emphasizing the importance of active participation in Cardano’s governance. Membership is open to anyone in the community, offering a unique opportunity to contribute to the direction and development of Cardano’s technology and governance.
- Components of Intersect: Bernard highlighted several key aspects of the Intersect program:
- Education and Resources: Intersect provides essential educational materials and resources to help members stay informed and engaged.
- Community Engagement: The MBO fosters strong community involvement, ensuring that diverse voices are heard in the decision-making process.
- Support and Collaboration: Intersect offers support for projects and initiatives that align with Cardano’s goals, promoting collaboration across the ecosystem.
- Networking Opportunities: Members gain access to a global network of blockchain professionals and enthusiasts, enhancing their ability to connect and collaborate on innovative projects.
Why Intersect Matters:
As Cardano enters the “Age of Voltaire,” a phase focused on full decentralization and self-sustainability, Intersect will play a crucial role in ensuring that governance is not only effective but also inclusive. By participating in Intersect, members can help steer the protocol’s development, ensuring that Cardano remains a leading blockchain platform driven by its community.
