DRep Profile
LateGameCrypto
My goal as a dRep is to contribute a voice of reason that challenges the Cardano voter base. I intend to collaborate with the community to make informed decisions and encourage more thoughtfulness around any governance decision.\n\nWhen it comes to my policy on TREASURY management, I take a more liberal approach. I believe that we need to manage it as a business would, which means developing multiple streams of income to advance the treasury for greater long-term sustainability.\n\nMy policy on GOVERNANCE is a much more conservative approach. I believe Code is Law. I believe that 1 ADA = 1 Vote is the best model for governance over economic systems. I believe in simplicity, as the over-complication of essential functions only serves to exclude more people.\n\nMy policy on BLOCKCHAIN functions and parameters is evolving but there are a few things I stand firm on. I am anti-fee markets. I am in favor of protecting NFT royalties. I am pro-contingent staking (if the situation calls for it)

Motivations
I want to be a dRep because I care about the freedom and decentralization of the Cardano ecosystem. It continues to feel like Cardano is the last ecosystem that values the principles that this industry was supposed to stand for, as Satoshi Nakamoto envisioned it. I want to be a voice that contributes to driving this space to continue to be an independent economic system that offers people an open alternative to a government-controlled economy. This is the rhetoric that I have consistently pushed on my YouTube channel and it is the mission that I will continue to pursue as a dRep.

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.
