DRep Profile
ATLAS_Wolfgang
I deeply believe in Cardano's core philosophies: a scientific, rigorous, and peer-reviewed approach to blockchain development. This closely aligns with my educational background in engineering, where precision and long-term planning are paramount. Cardano’s commitment to security, sustainability, and resilience strongly reflects my own values, and I am dedicated to upholding these principles as we move forward. I envision a future where Cardano becomes the world’s leading decentralized financial operating system, offering equitable financial services to all. My goal as a DRep is to contribute to the long-term success of the Cardano ecosystem by ensuring well-informed governance decisions that prioritize stability and scalability.

My goal as a DRep is to contribute to the long-term success of the Cardano ecosystem by ensuring well-informed governance decisions that prioritize stability and scalability.
Motivations
I want to be a DRep because I firmly believe that governance in Cardano should rest in the hands of the many, not the few. Decentralization is at the heart of Cardano’s vision, and having representatives who deeply understand and stand for the core principles of scientific rigor, security, and sustainability is essential to ensure its long-term success. As a Stake Pool Operator since day one of the Shelley era, I’ve had the privilege of minting blocks for over 5000 delegators, managing more than 70 million ADA in stake. This experience has given me invaluable insight into the ecosystem and a deep sense of responsibility to contribute to the governance process. I aim to use my experience to ensure that decisions are made with precision, care, and in alignment with the values that have brought Cardano to where it is today. Governance needs to reflect the voices of all, and I am committed to being a representative that prioritizes the community’s long-term success and stability.

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.
