Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson emphasized that the project possesses the largest decentralized autonomous organization in the digital asset industry, underscoring the strength of its ecosystem governance.
According to crypto media outlet The Crypto Basic on March 10 (local time), Hoskinson recently claimed on social media that Intersect, a membership-based body within the Cardano ecosystem, is the largest decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) in the world. Intersect currently has more than 1,000 individual and institutional members and leads the network’s decision-making and technological development. Hoskinson added that Intersect’s scale and level of activity surpass those of major existing DAOs such as MakerDAO and Uniswap.
The Cardano ecosystem fully entered the Voltaire era following the Chang hard fork, establishing a comprehensive decentralized governance system. At the center of this transformation, Intersect plays a key role in setting the technical roadmap and allocating the community budget. Hoskinson also unveiled a plan to maximize the ecosystem’s execution capacity through a pentad executive structure consisting of Intersect, IO, Emurgo, the Cardano Foundation, and the Midnight Foundation. To enhance governance efficiency, a proposal is also being reviewed to establish a 70 million ADA strategic consolidation fund.
The growth of Intersect is seen as a process of achieving true decentralization, in which the entire community determines the protocol’s future rather than being influenced by specific companies or individuals. Hoskinson projected that as the digital asset industry becomes integrated into traditional finance, a transparent governance structure will become a decisive factor in securing a competitive advantage. Starting in the first quarter of 2026, Cardano plans to accelerate ecosystem expansion by increasing the utilization of its Layer 2 solution Hydra and expanding into Bitcoin-based decentralized finance markets.
Backed by a democratic decision-making structure secured through its large-scale DAO, the Cardano ecosystem is pursuing differentiated growth compared to other blockchain networks. Intersect’s membership continues to grow steadily, and strengthened network stability through governance participation serves as a factor that provides long-term confidence to investors.
