Motivations
I’m motivated by the potential of Cardano to create lasting, positive change, particularly in my home country of Argentina, where economic instability and political challenges are significant. By leveraging my professional experience in marketing, business development, and community building, I’m committed to making Cardano a cornerstone of global blockchain adoption, driving meaningful impact in Latin America and beyond. Key Values - Security over speed. - Prioritize long-term over short-term - Preserve user sovereignty in a permissionless system. - Reject speculative projects—no token burning or valueless hype. - Decentralization must be effective. - Smart use of treasury resources. - Ensure financial sustainability of the Protocol - Increase nodes and governance participation over time.

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.
