DRep Profile
Lucas.Macchiavelli
As a Cardano DRep, my goal is to drive exponential but sustainable growth for the Cardano ecosystem by addressing 3 key challenges for Cardano: - Lack of structured business development - Ineffective communication strategies - Limited funding for projects As a DRep, I aim to push for a clearer, more compelling narrative that showcases Cardano’s strengths, positioning it as a leader in decentralization, sustainability and security My strategy involves professionalizing business development and forming strategic partnerships with governments, businesses, and NGOs, ensuring real-world adoption. I want to transform Cardano into a global brand, driving both investment and user engagement. Ultimately, I envision Cardano as a major player in the decentralized technological revolution, offering long-term value for users and promoting an ecosystem built on trust, innovation, and economic inclusion.

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.

Qualifications
I have worked to promote Cardano for +3 years. Co Founded Token Allies and the LATAM Cardano Community. Additionally, I lead the Cardano Newsletter and have used social media to expand Cardano to hundreds of thousands of people. As a Cardano Ambassador, I have held key meetings with figures from the political sector in Argentina to promote the adoption of Cardano. Actions needed for Cardano. - Define a clear narrative & Identify Cardano's target audience. - Improve Cardano’s image in traditional and non-traditional media. - A coordinated business development effort for the ecosystem, with a focus on partnerships & engagement with Industry Leaders - Support content creators from within Cardano to grow the community. - Localized onboarding Strategy - Optimized landing pages for Cardano for different users.

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.
