DRep Profile
InputEndorsers
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

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.

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.

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.
