Essential Cardano360 - April 2025 Edition

In this April edition of Essential Cardano360, we bring you the latest on the people, projects, and progress shaping Cardano’s future.

This month, we return to the topic of decentralized governance as Valeria Devaux and Tex McCutcheon join us to share updates on the Intersect Committee elections, currently underway. From the IO Research team, Fergie stops by to explore the broader vision for Cardano, shedding light on what’s ahead from a technical and research perspective.

We also hear from the Catalyst team, with an ecosystem update, and check in with Book.io, the project bringing digital ownership to books and readers worldwide.

Plus, we take you to Paris Blockchain Week, where Input Output had a strong presence. We’ll share a few highlights from the event, including Charles Hoskinson’s keynote and more.

This month’s Building on Cardano segment features Malama, a team working to introduce sustainable agriculture solutions in Hawaii, leveraging blockchain for real-world impact.
