DRep Profile
Alex BKV
As a Cardano DRep, I want to support freedom, fairness, and innovation. My goal is to vote for proposals that make Cardano more decentralized, transparent, and secure while driving new technologies that benefit everyone. I believe financial control should return to the people, away from governments and banks, and I see Cardano moving in the right direction to achieve this.
Objectives
As a Cardano DRep, I want to support freedom, fairness, and innovation. My goal is to vote for proposals that make Cardano more decentralized, transparent, and secure while driving new technologies that benefit everyone. I believe financial control should return to the people, away from governments and banks, and I see Cardano moving in the right direction to achieve this.
Motivations
I want to be a DRep because I believe in Cardano’s vision and its potential to change the world. My libertarian values guide me to support freedom, decentralization, and keeping governments far away from personal lives and businesses. My experience in software development and blockchain projects gives me the skills to evaluate proposals carefully. I am passionate about building a fair and innovative future for the Cardano community.
Qualifications
I have over 20 years of experience in software development and solution architecture, with the last 4 years focused on blockchain technology. I have been an active Cardano Stake Pool Operator (SPO) for more than two years, running the BKV pool. My technical skills and hands-on experience in the Cardano ecosystem give me a strong understanding of what makes a valuable proposal and how to support decentralization effectively.

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.
