Objectives

1- Advocate for the interests of SPOs, especially small operators, by promoting decentralization and opposing measures favoring large entities. Support initiatives to enhance the sustainability and competitiveness of small SPOs. 2- Represent the Hispanic community by amplifying their voices in governance, supporting adoption in Spanish-speaking regions, and addressing their unique challenges. 3- Defend the development of Cardano as a stable, reliable, and resilient network by supporting technical improvements, rigorous security practices, and scalability initiatives. 4- Advocate for the role of developers and contributors who drive Cardano's technical and ideological growth, ensuring funding for innovative projects and open-source collaboration. 5- Promote inclusive, transparent governance and foster collaboration among SPOs, developers, and global communities to strengthen Cardano’s ecosystem.

Motivations

My motivation stems from a deep commitment to Decentralization, equity, and innovation within the Cardano ecosystem. Small SPOs are the backbone of a truly decentralized network, and supporting their sustainability is essential to preserve Cardano’s vision. Similarly, the Hispanic community, often underrepresented, deserves a strong voice to ensure inclusivity and global accessibility. I believe in fostering a stable, reliable, and resilient Cardano network by prioritizing security, scalability, and robust infrastructure. Additionally, I am driven by the need to champion the developers and contributors whose work fuels Cardano’s technical and ideological progress. Promoting collaboration, transparency, and a balance between technical evolution and community needs motivates me to represent and advocate effectively, ensuring Cardano thrives as a global, decentralized platform.

Safer, Smarter Cardano: From Personal Loss to Community Protections

Pending
ABSTAIN

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

Pending
ABSTAIN

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.
