I am in Cardano to help make the original vision a reality. The vision is for ordinary people around the world to collaboratively build and run a governable and resilient global protocol of value. Cardano serves as an alternative financial system for individuals around the globe. Cardano offers a unique interplay of macroeconomics and finance, governance and individual empowerment, financial inclusivity and radical change. Every ADA counts. Frugality with the treasury is necessary. Cardano ecosystem as a whole is now a currency user. We are no longer a currency issuer. It is a big difference. Conflicts of interest: I am not (and was never) financially affiliated with any Cardano dev teams or projects, nor with the 3 Cardano founding entities. I do not have a conflict of interest in that sense. I have been compensated as: 1. a Catalyst Community Reviewer Level 1 since Fund 2 2. a Catalyst Milestone Reviewer since Fund 10

Objectives

I am in Cardano to help make the original vision a reality. The vision is for ordinary people around the world to collaboratively build and run a governable and resilient global protocol of value. Cardano serves as an alternative financial system for individuals around the globe. Cardano offers a unique interplay of macroeconomics and finance, governance and individual empowerment, financial inclusivity and radical change. Every ADA counts. Frugality with the treasury is necessary. Cardano ecosystem as a whole is now a currency user. We are no longer a currency issuer. It is a big difference. Conflicts of interest: I am not (and was never) financially affiliated with any Cardano dev teams or projects, nor with the 3 Cardano founding entities. I do not have a conflict of interest in that sense. I have been compensated as: 1. a Catalyst Community Reviewer Level 1 since Fund 2 2. a Catalyst Milestone Reviewer since Fund 10

Motivations

I have lived through times of splendor and stability. I have lived in a war zone and poverty for a decade. I understand how this technology can provide an alternative for individuals who are being cornered in the modern day and age. It can be a tremendous force for good. I’m participating in DRep governance for the big picture and for the ideals. I understand that people can be here short-term and for the money. Yet, that is not my motivation. If we build a parallel system, we decentralize a key component of the world. Finance. I have an enormous respect for everyone who is building Cardano and taking a risk by investing resources in all forms. My aim is to provide a completely independent and balanced voice to the debate and decision-making. We need decentralization and independent points of view. I strive to be one of them.

Qualifications

I have an open mind. I like to understand what is taking place and how something works. I know most of the players active in Cardano - although many of them do not know me. How? I have read thousands of Project Catalyst proposals from hundreds of teams since Fund 2. I have accepted and rejected hundreds of milestones from Catalyst funded teams as a Milestone Reviewer. I have insight into what is happening, the good, the bad and the beautiful. Yes, it is a global view that may be thin in some parts, but still an all encompassing picture. Cardano is a global project and a global perspective is also needed in governance, as is technical proficiency and knowledge of detail. I am financially unaffiliated with dev teams. I am an ADA holder with the interests of the wider Cardano ecosystem and all our current and future users at heart - and I wish to maintain my objectivity. I have completed the Cardano Blockchain Certified Associate (CBCA) course.

Activate DeFi with USA – A Decentralized, Yield-Bearing Dollar for Cardano

Pending
ABSTAIN

This proposal seeks treasury support from the Cardano Foundation to strategically bootstrap liquidity for USA, a yield-bearing synthetic dollar [digital asset mimicking USD value via algorithms or derivatives] developed by SMARDEX and collateralized by long ADA positions. Already successfully deployed as USDN on Ethereum, USA uniquely combines genuine decentralization, trustless yield generation, and market-neutral stability, appealing to an underserved, critical and growing niche in the current DeFi landscape. This proposal is more widely available on the References and Supporting Information below, with the text here being intentionally short and concise. USA’s innovative design eliminates reliance on centralized entities or manual interventions, utilizing fully on-chain, autonomous perpetual futures markets to deliver sustainable yield. This differentiates it sharply from existing stablecoin solutions, which either lack yield entirely (e.g., GHO, sUSD) or rely on centralized management (e.g., USDe). Its Cardano-native architecture ensures seamless integration and composability within the ecosystem, avoiding cross-chain risks and enhancing resilience. By strategically deploying protocol-owned liquidity into USA, this proposal not only resolves the classic "cold start" liquidity challenge faced by new assets but actively fosters enduring economic activity and ecosystem growth. Unlike transient incentive programs that attract short-term, mercenary capital, treasury-supported liquidity in USA establishes deep, durable market foundations. The capital provided by the treasury remains fully under Cardano's control, accessible at all times through transparent, non-custodial, and permissionless smart contracts. In short, this initiative positions Cardano at the forefront of decentralized stablecoin innovation, creating lasting value through a sustainable, yield-bearing, and entirely Cardano-native asset.

Cardano Community Lead Constitution Update

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.
