To safeguard the long-term survival and prosperity of the Cardano blockchain by advocating for decentralized governance. My primary focus is on protecting the Treasury and ensuring the viability of small, professionally-run stake pools, which are critical to maintaining a decentralized network. Additionally, I am committed to supporting the Cardano development tools and popular applications on the blockchain, and to advancing the Cardano ecosystem through promotion and grassroots growth.

Objectives

To safeguard the long-term survival and prosperity of the Cardano blockchain by advocating for decentralized governance. My primary focus is on protecting the Treasury and ensuring the viability of small, professionally-run stake pools, which are critical to maintaining a decentralized network. Additionally, I am committed to supporting the Cardano development tools and popular applications on the blockchain, and to advancing the Cardano ecosystem through promotion and grassroots growth.

Motivations

To contribute to the Cardano blockchain by ensuring that every voice is heard, and to actively participate in its governance with my ADA holding. I believe in the power of self-governance and the importance of collective decision-making.

Qualifications

I have been deeply involved in the Cardano ecosystem since 2017 and am one of the original independent single Cardano stake pool operators from the Incentivized Test Net. I operate with a commitment to decentralization, building all systems from source without reliance on common tools for installation or management, as the common approach exposes single points of failure within the ecosystem.

Cardano Constitutional Dept Workstreams

Pending
ABSTAIN

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

Pending
ABSTAIN

(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.
