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.

Info Action: Build on Cardano. Build for the World — Vision 2030
This info action presents a strategic vision for Cardano 2030: to transform Cardano into the world’s most builder-friendly blockchain, enabling enterprises, developers, and communities to build globally impactful businesses. It introduces the concept of a Cardano Ease of Building Index (CEBI), a unified builder starter pack, and outcome-linked incentives to promote adoption and sustainability. The core principle is simple: when you build on Cardano, you build for the world.
Stablecoin DeFi Liquidity Budget
The primary goal of this budget proposal is to increase liquidity on Cardano, specifically by supporting stablecoin liquidity. The secondary goal is to generate revenue for the treasury. 50,000,000 ADA is requested to create a fund composed of ADA and fiat backed stablecoins to support the Cardano decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. The majority of the funds (99%) in this budget will be disbursed to DeFi protocols including decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and lending protocols to help seed liquidity on Cardano. Funds must only contain ADA, fiat backed stablecoins, and liquidity tokens from deployment into DeFi protocols. The funds will be managed from a smart contract administered by a 9 person interim committee composed of publicly identified individuals with oversight from a newly established treasury DAO (tDAO), where membership in the treasury DAO includes decentralized representatives (dReps). After 1 year, the tDAO will be required to elect a new committee or else no actions can be taken. The tDAO has the oversight abilities to impeach, elect, and ultimately shut down the fund and return funds to the treasury. In addition to the fund, this proposal will establish a number of public goods including a legal framework for future community involved proposals like this as well as an open source governance contract with executive and oversight functionality.
