Cardano Constitutional Dept Workstreams

Its core aim is to ensure that budgeted governance tasks are completed verifiably, transparently, and without relying on a single administrator.
Safer, Smarter Cardano: From Personal Loss to Community Protections
In my early crypto journey, I fell for a scam that cost me $1,700—a loss born not from ignorance, but misplaced confidence. I believed I could outwit deception by changing the script. I couldn’t. That moment taught me that even intelligent users are vulnerable in a system that offers no safety net. What kept me grounded was Cardano: its mission of research, patience, and principled design. That mission is why I stayed. Yet Cardano’s openness and decentralization, while empowering, also expose users to hidden dangers: cloned tokens, misleading branding, and overhyped projects. This proposal introduces a framework for improving wallet-layer safety and trust, including UI enhancements, opt-in transparency tools, and a community-reviewed case study examining the breakdown of post-ISO trust.
Ironlight: Tokenization Marketplace for Traditional Finance
Ironlight is bringing Tokenization to TradFi. This is done by creating a fully regulated secondary trading venue for tokenized Real World Assets (RWA). The RWAs are private market funds, company equity and real estate. Ironlight is different from most other players in 3 major aspects: 1. Liquidity: Ironlight has secured 4 major institutions to backstop trading. Additionally, RIAs & Wealth Advisors from the major banks are market participants. 2. Sponsor Access Model: The Alternative Trading System (ATS) allows for trading & settling between anyone in the US financial system not just within it’s own network. This allows for dramatically more participants and thus facilitates liquidity. 3. Institutional Grade Technology: Built from the ground up, the technology can process 2 million messages per second at 20 microseconds per transaction. Additionally, built under Reg SCI. The technology was built at the same standard Wall Street expects for Public Market ATS/Exchanges.
