Objectives
As a Cardano representative, I will vote on governance proposals in accordance with my values, outlined below (listed from most general principle to least). 1. Integrity 2. Freedom 3. Social Good 4. Technical Soundness 5. Economic Soundness 6. Effective Discourse 7. Transparency 8.

Motivations
My motivation to become a DRep is rooted deeply in my objectives and value system seen above. Additionally, I have an active interest in seeing the Cardano ecosystem evolve to it's best form under the guidance of a multi-faceted ecosystem of experts and enthusiasts, and after 4 years deeply embeddded in the ecosystem, I feel it is my obligation to contribute to that. As for why I am registering now, rather than earlier, it took several months to distill my beliefs down into a form I was proud to stand behind, and the Plomin hard fork seemed a fitting milestone to commit those beliefs to a tangible form.
Qualifications
I believe I am qualified to represent the subset of Cardano community members who share my values because of my long history of involvement in the community, my technical expertise, my rich history of contributions across multiple projects and open source tools, my effective communication skills, and my passion for the work that I do. As before, you can find a longer and more detailed outline of why these things qualify me as a DRep [at my personal blog](https://www.314pool.com/post/drep)

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.
