DRep Profile
Sustainable ADA
As a DRep, Sustainable ADA aims to promote decision-making that ensures the long-term sustainability and growth of the Cardano ecosystem while aligning with broader environmental, social, and governance (ESG) values. Our core belief is that blockchain technology can serve as a powerful tool to address global challenges, from climate change to financial inclusion. We seek to represent and advocate for proposals that prioritize environmental sustainability, ethical governance, and innovative solutions to real-world problems. By actively engaging with stakeholders, including small ADA holders and sustainability-focused projects, we aspire to amplify voices that share these values and ensure responsible growth of the Cardano network.
Objectives
As a DRep, Sustainable ADA aims to promote decision-making that ensures the long-term sustainability and growth of the Cardano ecosystem while aligning with broader environmental, social, and governance (ESG) values. Our core belief is that blockchain technology can serve as a powerful tool to address global challenges, from climate change to financial inclusion. We seek to represent and advocate for proposals that prioritize environmental sustainability, ethical governance, and innovative solutions to real-world problems. By actively engaging with stakeholders, including small ADA holders and sustainability-focused projects, we aspire to amplify voices that share these values and ensure responsible growth of the Cardano network.
Motivations
We are motivated by the immense potential of Cardano’s decentralized governance to create meaningful global impact. With backgrounds in sustainability, technology, and blockchain advocacy, our team believes that being a DRep allows us to bridge the gap between blockchain innovation and sustainable development initiatives. We are driven by the desire to see blockchain not just as a financial tool but as a transformative force in addressing systemic issues, such as energy use and equitable access to resources. Professionally, our experiences in environmental advocacy, education, and blockchain development provide us with the tools to evaluate proposals holistically and ensure alignment with sustainable practices.
Qualifications
Sustainable ADA has been an active member of the Cardano community since 2019, driving initiatives for sustainable growth and effective governance. We launched the first Cardano Impact Report, assessing ecosystem projects’ environmental and social contributions while setting standards for sustainability. We developed the Project Catalyst Impact Measurement System (IMS) to track and quantify project impacts, ensuring Catalyst-funded initiatives meet performance goals. Our team organized and created content for 25 in-person Project Catalyst Working Group workshops worldwide, shaping governance improvements. We also launched Impact Web3, powered by the Proof of Impact Platform, to measure outcomes, and Domino DAO, a decentralized organization promoting collective positive global impact. With a deep understanding of sustainability frameworks like the UN SDGs, we evaluate proposals based on their societal and environmental impacts.

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.
