DRep Profile
Gnobudy Special
I followed Charles's invitation to get involved in the Members based organisation. I engaged with the constitution drafting process and went to Argentina for the constitutional convention. The constitution is not a perfect document. But I am sure that it fulfils the objective of being a viable constitution to protect our rights and freedoms to begin the process of running and using a community owned blockchain ecosystem.
Objectives
I followed Charles's invitation to get involved in the Members based organisation. I engaged with the constitution drafting process and went to Argentina for the constitutional convention. The constitution is not a perfect document. But I am sure that it fulfils the objective of being a viable constitution to protect our rights and freedoms to begin the process of running and using a community owned blockchain ecosystem.
Motivations
Cardano is unique in being a community owned and run blockchain ecosystem. I share Charles's vision of how a transparently run, community owned ecosystem can earn the trust of the people around the world to operate national information infrastructure. I will vote on governance actions in a way that supports this vision and am open to sharing my reasoning both on X and with anyone who wishes to ask.
Qualifications
Many of the first wave of popular dReps are from existing projects and NFT communities. There may be governance actions in the future which would be favourable to existing interests but to the detriment of the longer term growth and goals of Cardano. In these cases I will vote in a way that supports the long term vision of what Cardano can become.

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.
