Support proposals that deliver high ROI for the ecosystem: real-world adoption, infrastructure tools, education, and developer tooling. Prioritize support for grassroots builders, dApps, DeFi, and ecosystem services that lower barriers to entry. Act as a liaison between the community and proposers. Summarize complex proposals and provide rationale for your votes. I believe decentralization is a Long-Term process and in sustainable growth over hype (I am not interested in short-term trends or meme pumps. I want a blockchain that survives and thrives for decades).
Objectives
Support proposals that deliver high ROI for the ecosystem: real-world adoption, infrastructure tools, education, and developer tooling. Prioritize support for grassroots builders, dApps, DeFi, and ecosystem services that lower barriers to entry. Act as a liaison between the community and proposers. Summarize complex proposals and provide rationale for your votes. I believe decentralization is a Long-Term process and in sustainable growth over hype (I am not interested in short-term trends or meme pumps. I want a blockchain that survives and thrives for decades).
Motivations
1. Empower People Through Decentralized Governance. 2. Bridge the Gap Between Complexity and Clarity. 3. Use My Experience to Help Build a Better System ("With my background in real estate, architecture, and business, I see real-world problems that blockchain can help solve. I want to vote for proposals that connect Cardano to real use cases.") 4. Serve as a Voice for Underserved Communities (Too often, governance excludes those without technical knowledge or perfect English. I want to represent people from Latin America and other regions who deserve a stronger voice in Cardano’s future.) 5. Create a Culture of Trust and Accountability. 6. Educate and Inspire Others to Get Involved.
Qualifications
1. Business & Strategic Thinking (I have structured and managed multiple businesses (architecture, real estate, construction, property management). 2. Project Evaluation & Budgeting Experience. 3. Commitment to Transparency. 4. Multi-disciplinary Perspective (I work across architecture, sustainability, technology, and business gives you a broad lens — ideal for judging the diversity of proposals Cardano receives: from DeFi to climate initiatives to developer tools). 5. Community Leadership 6. Vision for Impactful Decentralization (Real-world impact as could be for real state, ownership,and different projects).

CARDANO BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEM CONSTITUTION v2.4
# Three-line summary: 1. Cardano Constitution v2.4 removes non-binding expectations, the Budget Info Action mechanism, and mandatory CC conduct rules, streamlining governance. 2. It adds clear definitions, enforces immutability of proposal documents, and applies treasury audit/accountability safeguards to all withdrawals. 3. This version also incorporates feedback from EMURGO. # Three helpful links 1.

Test title
Test Abstract
High-performance Rust Ogmios Client
We propose developing a high-performance Rust client library for Ogmios, enabling fast, safe, and efficient communication with the Cardano node. While a TypeScript client currently exists, there's a growing demand for Rust-based infrastructure, especially for backend applications requiring low latency, high throughput, and robust memory safety. The library will support all four Ogmios mini-protocols (chain sync, ledger queries, transaction submission, and mempool monitoring). It will be optimized using advanced techniques such as arena allocation, Struct-of-Arrays optimizations, and SIMD parsing, where appropriate. A complete example application and comprehensive test suite (unit, end-to-end, and live network) will ensure usability and reliability. This project lowers the barrier for Rust developers building on Cardano, improves performance for critical applications (e.g., trading bots, DEXes, mempool tools), and better integrates with Cardano's existing Rust-based serialization ecosystem.
