Open source has become key to blockchain development, especially for public, permissionless blockchains such as Cardano. This session will share insights into the Cardano Foundation’s "Infrastructure-First" strategy. We will discuss how to sustain a diverse suite of open-source solutions designed for institutional and community use. Key case studies include:
    • A financial reporting and accounting system that creates immutable, easy to audit records
    • A scalable solution for verifiable proof of origin and product integrity
    • An identity and access management platform focusing on fraud prevention and digital sovereignty
    • A secure yet transparent voting infrastructure for decentralized governance.
