The Intersect Research Working Group aims to establish a robust research agenda centered on sustainability, interoperability, and security to drive Cardano’s growth.
Through conducting fundamental research in areas like consensus algorithms (e.g., Ouroboros Omega), zero-knowledge proofs, quantum-resistant cryptography, and smart contract functionality, the group seeks to enable adoption, resilience, and education within the Cardano ecosystem.
