Objectives

Identify and resolve pain points that DApp developers experience work on Cardano. Advocate for: Layer 1 feature development (input endorsers, babel fees, etc) Layer 2 research and development (Hydra, Midgard, etc) DApp development support User experience enhancements (i.e. transaction manifests)

Motivations

I have always emphasized the crucial role of open-source development in the Cardano ecosystem. I founded Anastasia Labs with the core mission to create open-source decentralized protocols, libraries, and developer tooling that benefit the entire community. We are here to grow the ecosystem, support DApp development, and improve both network and user security.

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.
