Intersect: Maintainer Retainer Program
Onboarding, tracking and paying the maintainers behind Cardano's open source infrastructure, who form a reputation network: any team or project can see who has delivered before bringing them on.
The challenge
Intersect coordinates Cardano's open source committees and working groups. Its Open Source Committee manages maintainers who build critical ecosystem infrastructure.
The question: how do you onboard, track and pay dozens of maintainers across committees, with full transparency and no payment disputes?
How Andamio fits
Andamio replaces invoice cycles, spreadsheets and manual treasury execution with credential-gated access, milestone escrow and fund release on reviewer approval.
Every payment, approval and credential is recorded on-chain.
