Motivations
EN Blockchain tech will only bring real and transformative benefits to humanity if it is truly decentralized. Cardano’s ethos supports decentralization, but it must be real, not just an empty promise. Agora's mission is to ensure that governance truly represents people and their values, and to seek a strategically structured governance system, capable of protecting Cardano from attacks and capture by malicious actors, with smart incentive mechanisms guided by game theory. PT/BR A tecnologia blockchain só trará benefícios reais e transformadores à humanidade se for verdadeiramente descentralizada. O ethos da Cardano defende a descentralização, mas ela precisa ser real, não apenas uma promessa vazia. A missão do Agora é garantir que a governança represente de fato as pessoas e seus valores e um sistema de governança bem estruturado, capaz de proteger a Cardano de ataques e captura por grupos mal-intencionados, com mecanismos de incentivos inteligentes orientados por teoria dos jogos.

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.
