## **Contract management**

* Our contract management process involves careful planning, monitoring, and evaluation to ensure all obligations are met and projects are completed on time and within budget, on behalf of the community.
* Intersect charges a flat 5% administrator fee to cover operational overhead for contract management. As a not-for-profit, all proceedings are reinvested and support various initiatives across our organization.

## **What work are our cardano continuity suppliers doing?**

* **Current projects**
  * **Bloxico**\
    To facilitate Cardano’s age of Voltaire, Intersect develops multiple web app-based tools to enable users to engage with important Voltaire user journeys. This includes GovTool, Proposal Discussion Forum, DRep campaign platform, and the Constitutional Committee Portal. Bloxico develops a strategy to unite all these tools under one common set of recommendations and best practices.
  * **Byron**\
    Byron develops the GovTool WebApp, supports its launch, and runs a beta testing period to identify and fix bugs, gather feedback, and collect ideas.
  * **Emurgo**\
    Emurgo is focusing on the development and maintenance of the Serialization Library for efficient data handling, continuous improvement of the Yoroi Extension Wallet for secure asset management, updates to the Yoroi Mobile Wallet to enhance user experience, and the creation of educational materials to promote broader adoption and informed usage of Cardano's tools and features.
  * **Galois**\
    As part of the Halo 2 project, Galois leads the development of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to enable future interoperability within the Cardano economy.
  * **Input Output Infrastructure**\
    Input Output Infrastructure group develops and tests the Cardano governance node in preparation for CIP-1694 and ongoing maintenance.
  * **Tweag**\
    Tweag works on the Ouroboros Genesis mechanism, which allows new nodes to join the Cardano blockchain and bootstrap themselves without relying on a trusted service and also enables disconnected nodes to rejoin the network.
  * **WellTyped**\
    WellTyped develops new Log Structured Merge Tree (LSM) implementations to store the ledger's UTxO set on disk instead of in memory. This innovation significantly increases the number of UTxOs, supports more users, and allows nodes to run on cheaper, lower-spec machines.
  * **VacLabs**\
    VacLabs ensures the continued practical use of Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets for the Cardano community and makes enhancements to support the Conway era.
* **Future work**
  * We are excited about several upcoming projects that will further our mission and provide significant value to our stakeholders. In our commitment to maintaining transparency, we will keep you informed with regular updates. Stay tuned!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.intersectmbo.org/intersect-knowledge-base/archive/cardano-budget-archive/intersect-operational-services/cardano-continuity/cardano-continuity-suppliers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
