Ok, so I assume that if I am looking for the "core" Cardano functionality then I should go with cardano-node most likely.

If you are looking for the core functionality you should probably look at `ledger` and/or `consensus`.

<p>Intersect is the cardano members based organization launched last year. Think of it like the Linux foundation equivalent for supporting Cardano development.</p>

Ok, so my confusion about IntersectMBO was unnecessary :) There are a lot of organizations around Cardano...

<p>For <a href="https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Bitcoin</a> and <a href="https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Ethereum</a> I can easily find repositories with their implementations.<br />
Where is an equivalent for that for Cardano?<br />

Where can I find Cardano implementation repository?
# Where can I find Cardano implementation repository?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2024-02-24)

For [Bitcoin](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin) and [Ethereum](https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum) I can easily find repositories with their implementations.  
Where is an equivalent for that for Cardano?  
I have found this [repository](https://github.com/IntersectMBO/cardano-node) but I am confused by the name of the owner of this repository (I heard about Emurgo, IOHK and Foundation but not about IntersectMBO) so I am not sure if that's what I am looking for(?)...
