van Rossem hard fork (VRHF)
As part of VRHF coordindation, Intersect has undertaken the responsibility of hosting forks of key ecosystem tooling, Ogmios and Kupo, in order to allow the hard fork and testing to progress on the PreProd testnet.
An interim measure to allow the original repository maintainer the time to review and update the original code, while allowing testing progress to resume in the meantime.
Another example of an unowned process that Intersect has been able to assist with.

van Rossem hard fork update 🍴
The Cardano PreProd testnet has enacted the hard fork action on June 10, 2026 at 00:00 UTC and is now on Protocol Version 11.
The final checkpoint before progress moves to Mainnet, SPOs. DApps, developers and exchanges are highly encouraged to test their setups and provide feedback so that the Hard Fork Working Group can make an informed decision on Mainnet submission timelines.

You asked; the Pentad has worked hard to ink a deal to bring native @FireblocksHQ integration to @Cardano. Looking forward to sharing more details in the coming days and weeks.
