The education and multimedia category has been set up for builders to develop multimedia educational resources to help educate, onboard, and engage ada holders to participate in the new governance features made available with CIP-1694.
The “Open” grant category is available for members to propose new tools that have not already been funded through any other categories, are not adequately addressed, or are not built at all. These proposals should aim to create new features and complement other tools being built in the ecosystem.
The need for inclusion and accessibility cuts across all processes, tools, communication channels, and interaction points for Cardano governance and Intersect itself. This grant category supports different initiatives to open up and make more accessible Cardano governance and Intersect.
Intersect aims to establish a seamless, user-friendly membership portal on the Intersect MBO website, incorporating wallet connections, payment options, and NFT issuance for membership verification.
15 DRep Pioneers have been selected across the globe to join a small group of other Workshop Leaders to co-design and deliver a unified curriculum and continuous learning program to their respective community and region.

Intersect community hubs will act as a geographical central point for members to collaborate, meet, and participate. They will enable members to join local events and working groups where all can express their opinions with a regional twist.
