DRep Profile
Donny_Jerri
As a long time Cardano community member and staker, I am a big believer in the power of DeFi to create ReFi and the simple concept of a regenerative world. A world that runs on the fundamentals of nature and natural law. Having studied, history, political science and philosophy, traveled the world extensively (90 countries to date), immerse myself in the cultures to help understand the problems and let my mind and spirit work on developing solutions it became apparent that it was in deed as simple as, "follow the money". After the 2008 financial crisis it became even more obvious. Blockchain technology has the ability thanks to smart contract architecture like we have here in Cardano to program values back into our valuables. If you believe in a world that has enough for everyone to be able to thrive and wan to help create it in practice. I would be honored to be your dRep.

Motivations
Governance is not for everyone. As a member of numerous DAO's I can attest to that. Just look at the state of voting in much of the democratic world, apathy and indifference are rampant. This comes from several reasons. Lack of time and lack of agency. When people feel disenfranchised, they loose interest and hope. We can restore that and bring back trust little by little right here. The lack of time we as dreps can remove. It is up to us to be here and willing to participate in good faith living up to our values to restore the faith of those that delegate to us in a world that does have the best interest of all at heart.
Qualifications
History, Political science and philosophy background coupled with personal lived experiences in 90 countries and cultures. I believe gives me a unique perspective to be able to view proposals from a zoomed out big picture lens. Along with my long history in the blockchain world beginning in 2011, I have seen and experienced the ups and downs as well as the innovation and growth. In short, I believe I possess the attributes I would like to see in a drep.

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.
CARDANO BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEM CONSTITUTION v2.3
# Three-line summary: 1. Cardano Constitution v2.3 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. Community review of v2.0 had 86.23% DRep participation, and v2.3 incorporates feedback and improvements, addressing prior concerns to reinforce legitimacy and broad input. # Three helpful links 1.
