DRep Profile
Florian Volery
As a DRep, my primary objective is to represent the builders and support them in creating value for the Cardano ecosystem. I also aim to advocate for real-world use cases and solutions that bridge decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi), leveraging my expertise in both fields. I firmly believe in the potential of blockchain technology to revolutionize the financial system, making it more transparent, efficient, and accessible to all. My goal is to support proposals that promote real-world adoption of blockchain solutions, particularly those that drive user growth on the Cardano network.

Motivations
I want to contribute to Cardano’s strategic direction, ensuring that its ecosystem continues to lead innovation in decentralized finance while upholding the principles of transparency, security, and sustainability. Having witnessed the inefficiencies and limitations of traditional financial systems during my decade-long career in Swiss banking, I am passionate about the transformative power of DeFi to reshape finance as we know it. As a co-founder of Liqwid, where I've been actively working since 2020, I want to bring my personal and professional experiences to the Cardano community, using them to support initiatives that drive meaningful change. As someone deeply committed to the growth of the Cardano blockchain, I’m eager to take a more active role in shaping its future by empowering projects that align with long-term value creation and the advancement of decentralized financial systems.

Cardano Constitutional Dept Workstreams
This proposal establishes a Governance Workstream Consortium which establishes decentralized execution framework, ROM Multisig Model, to support the delivery of constitutional dept workstreams in Cardano. Its core aim is to ensure that budgeted governance tasks are completed verifiably, transparently, and without relying on a single administrator.
Parameter change proposal - Lower minPoolCost to 0
(at the time of writing the gov.tools site did not have a Parameter Change dropdown value on Propose a Governance Action page implemented yet, although I hear it is in the works) This proposal is to change the parameter "minimum fixed rewards cut for pools (minPoolCost)" value from it's current value of 170 Ada to 0 Ada. This is to allow stake pool operators to set their fee structure as they see fit - without always forcibly taking a chunk out of pool rewards, the protocol-level action which results in continually growing gap (as the per-block reward continues to reduce over time, by staking design) in maximum ROI that a given small pool can offer compared to a big pool with similar fee structure in place.
