Get Involved

Whether you are a developer, designer, writer, project builder, or just someone passionate about Cardano.

Get involved

Welcome to the cardano.org website. We believe that this website should be managed by a collective and not a single entity. For this to be successful, the website relies on your contributions.

cardano.org follows an incremental evolution model. This repository avoids full rebuild projects, agency-led redesigns, or "start from scratch" initiatives unless there is a demonstrated, documented and reviewed technical need. Improvements should be made through small, reviewable, continuously shipped changes.

Everyone can contribute - whether you're a developer, designer, writer, project builder, or just someone passionate about Cardano. This page will help you find the right way to get involved.
