Blockjock (James Meidinger)
Always been a bit off since I was a kid, when it comes to following social norms or asking questions that controlling authorities never seem to like:-) Then one day I hear about the "cant be evil" philosophy through using Blockchain tech and went directly too, hello Ethereum lol. Worst idea ever as it provided me with the worst experience, where smart coders prayed on others coming into to learn how to empower themselves. Then the youtube algo grabbed me, steered me to Charles's white board video and Cardano, the rest is history:-)

Always been a bit off since I was a kid, when it comes to following social norms or asking questions that controlling authorities never seem to like:-) Then one day I hear about the "cant be evil" philosophy through using Blockchain tech and went directly too, hello Ethereum lol.

Motivations
I am deeply motivated to give real meaning to the phrase “power to the edges.” Opportunities to make a genuine difference on a global scale are rare, and this fuels me to strive to be better and do better as a human being. The knowledge that I can not only empower my family directly, but also help countless people I may never meet to achieve financial freedom, fills my heart with gratitude.
Qualifications
I have 30 years of experience running various businesses, along with more than 30 years of governance experience within a large anonymous group. I have now spent over six years in the Cardano ecosystem (since 9-18-2019), working with and building lasting projects and protocols, and I find myself more excited today than I was when I began. I am deeply committed to my family and friends, and I take pride in consistently being there for them through both good and difficult times. Trust and loyalty can be hard to come by in the blockchain space, but I have found that through consistent behavior, they can be earned here. Hope you find this helpful and here is to the future of Cardano!

CARDANO BLOCKCHAIN ECOSYSTEM CONSTITUTION v2.4
# Three-line summary: 1. Cardano Constitution v2.4 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. This version also incorporates feedback from EMURGO. # Three helpful links 1.

2026-27 Net Change Limit
The Cardano Constitution requires the establishment of a Net Change Limit, which defines the maximum amount of lovelace that can be withdrawn from the treasury during an outlined period of time. This governance action serves as an opportunity for all governance stakeholders to formally express their positions regarding the proposed Net Change Limit, ensuring transparency, accountability, and alignment across the ecosystem. The 2026-27 Net Change Limit will begin at the start of Epoch 613 and continue for 100 epochs, finishing at the conclusion of Epoch 713. The Net Change Limit will be 350,000,000,000,000 lovelace (350M ada). Unless superseded by a new NCL, this is the maximum amount that can be withdrawn from the treasury during this specific period and shall not be exceeded. The Net Change Limit will be used when reviewing both budget actions and treasury withdrawal actions to ensure constitutionality as required by Article IV of the Cardano Constitution and the Treasury Withdrawal Guardrails outlined in Appendix I.
