Vendor On-boarding Summary

Step-by-Step Vendor Process

Before you start delivering your project, there are a few important steps to complete. These steps help ensure you have everything you may need to know about agreeing a contract and delivering a proposal under Intersects administration. Each stage is designed to support transparency, accountability, and clear communication between you, your Third‑Party Assurer, the Delivery Assurance team, and the wider Cardano community.

Contracting and Onboarding

The process begins with Intersect's Procurement team, who collaborates with you to complete the due diligence process and agree upon, finalize, and sign a traditional legal contract. Please ensure you have the required documentation ready. Once the contract is signed by all parties, you are handed over to the Delivery Assurance (DA) team.

The DA team becomes your main point of contact, setting up communication channels, scheduling an onboarding call to familiarize you with the delivery process, and creating your smart contract instance on-chain.

Delivery and Milestone Management

During the delivery phase, whenever you complete a milestone, you must submit milestone evidence using a Milestone Acceptance Form (MAF). The DA team will work with you to review your MAF's, and if the evidence is sufficient and the payment date is reached, the funds will be made available for you to withdraw directly from the smart contract.

Smart Contract Actions & Contract Completion

Throughout the duration of your contract, you will use the dashboard to interact with your smart contract. This enables you to record project progress immutably on-chain and withdraw funds upon completion of agreed milestones.

After your final milestone is completed, Intersect conducts a final review to ensure all deliverables match both the legal and smart contracts. During this offboarding phase, any unclaimed funds are swept back to the treasury, your access to Intersect systems will be closed, and communication channels are archived.

Finally, you will receive a confirmation email marking the completion of the contract and be invited to provide feedback on your experience. How to Submit a Milestone Read More About Offboarding

Milestone Completion & Payment Flow

This outlines how work, agreements, and payments are connected across the process. The legal contract defines what must be delivered and under what terms, while the smart contract enforces and executes actions on-chain based on progress. Together, they ensure that completed work is validated, transparent, and triggers the correct outcomes (such as payments) in a secure and automated way.
