DRep Profile
Lourde
"To further the objectives set forth by the Blockchain Constitution as written by the community, to uphold all upgrades and evolutions of the technology for the continued growth of the community and the communities longevity , to always promote the spread of Blockchain education and the greater good that CARDANO can do." I supports governance initiatives that: Promote community education and awareness about Cardano's technology and governance. That also ensure transparency and accessibility in governance processes for broad participation of the overall community. I also encourage funding for innovative projects that bring practical utility based applications to Cardano for the communities consumption and leveraging. I advocate for fair incentives for governance participants, such as Delegated Representatives (DReps), to ensure active fair and consistent involvement.

Motivations
My unwavering motivations in blockchain, particularly Cardano and its partners, center primarily around education, innovations, and community building. I actively and unabashedly promote educational content about Cardano's tech stack, which is driven by a desire to enhance the communities knowledge. I support projects that foster a penchant for technological innovations such as irrevocable digital ownership, gasless transactions and practical applications of blockchain technology utility. Additionally, I consistently publicly interact with other community members and projects which highlights a commitment to fostering a collaborative environment within the Cardano ecosystem. ~Delegate Lourde DRep Ouroborus Imperator Aeternalis ~
Qualifications
My blockchain qualifications, particularly within Cardano, center around community involvement and promotion of innovations. I actively share educational content and support innovative projects, I have a strong understanding of the platform. My qualifications include the following: Promoting Educational Content: I am frequently sharing and promoting educational spaces, sessions and digital content about Cardano's technology, sharing knowledge of its tech stack. Supporting Innovative Projects: I highlight innovative projects initiatives like digital ownership with BOOK.io / STUFF.io and gasless transactions with NUCAST, I promote an interest in practical applications. Community Engagement: My personal communal interactions foster collaboration, contributing to Cardano's growth and development in a small way but in a way that spreads the correct information available.

Test title
Test Abstract
High-performance Rust Ogmios Client
We propose developing a high-performance Rust client library for Ogmios, enabling fast, safe, and efficient communication with the Cardano node. While a TypeScript client currently exists, there's a growing demand for Rust-based infrastructure, especially for backend applications requiring low latency, high throughput, and robust memory safety. The library will support all four Ogmios mini-protocols (chain sync, ledger queries, transaction submission, and mempool monitoring). It will be optimized using advanced techniques such as arena allocation, Struct-of-Arrays optimizations, and SIMD parsing, where appropriate. A complete example application and comprehensive test suite (unit, end-to-end, and live network) will ensure usability and reliability. This project lowers the barrier for Rust developers building on Cardano, improves performance for critical applications (e.g., trading bots, DEXes, mempool tools), and better integrates with Cardano's existing Rust-based serialization ecosystem.
CARDANO BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEM CONSTITUTION v2.3
# Three-line summary: 1. Cardano Constitution v2.3 removes non-binding expectations, the Budget Info Action mechanism, and mandatory CC conduct rules, streamlining governance. 2. It adds clear definitions, enforces immutability of proposal documents, and applies treasury audit/accountability safeguards to all withdrawals. 3. Community review of v2.0 had 86.23% DRep participation, and v2.3 incorporates feedback and improvements, addressing prior concerns to reinforce legitimacy and broad input. # Three helpful links 1.
