Low Budget, Pragmatic Decisions, Focus on Adoption
Motivations
My motivation stems from a desire to see Cardano thrive as a commercially successful blockchain.
Qualifications
Founder & CEO of NMKR: Built the largest NFT minting and tokenization platform on Cardano, helping thousands of users and businesses onboard to Web3. This experience gives me insight into both technical implementation and the challenges of building commercially viable blockchain solutions. Technical Expertise: With a background in Computer Science and experience as a Cardano stake pool operator, I have a strong understanding of the technical underpinnings of Cardano. Business Acumen: As a developer turned entrepreneur, I bridge the gap between technical solutions and business needs, enabling me to evaluate proposals from multiple perspectives. I only vote on proposals where I have sufficient expertise.

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.
