BreadAndRoses
My campaign is a call for "bread and roses"—the pursuit of both economic justice ("bread") and the beauty and dignity of life ("roses"). I believe that economic and political transformation, where society thrives within ecological and social boundaries, can be achieved through RealFi and crypto-based solutions. These technologies provide opportunities to dismantle financial exclusion by creating transparent, decentralised systems that address real-world needs. In a world increasingly dominated by monopolies and environmental degradation, RealFi offers a path toward resilience, fostering inclusive growth while safeguarding our planet. This transformation addresses the systemic inequalities entrenched in current financial models. By leveraging blockchain technologies, we can reshape the rules to ensure that prosperity is shared, resources are protected, and communities are empowered to shape their own futures. Promoting both social and environmental well-being.

Motivations
Bread and Roses for all. My motivation arises from witnessing the unchecked dominance of monopolies and tech giants, coupled with the weakening of anti-trust laws, which has led to escalating inequality and stifled innovation. The growing influence of these entities—often propelled by corporate lobbying and shielded by think tanks and undisclosed funding—has pushed both societal and ecological boundaries to the brink. These forces not only amplify financial exclusion but also drive environmental degradation, pushing marginalised voices further to the periphery. The status quo benefits a small elite, who manipulate the minority as the thin end of the wedge to hijack power, leaving the majority struggling under systems designed to maintain the concentration of wealth and control. As a DRep, I am committed to challenging these imbalances. My aim is to restore power to the community, ensuring that governance is transparent, inclusive, and accountable.

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.
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.
