I am dedicated to advancing a decentralized, innovative future for Cardano by championing: - Decentralized Governance: Strengthen both network and governance decentralization, ensuring resilience and minimizing central control. - BTC-ADA Synergy: Uphold Bitcoin as the ultimate store of value while positioning Cardano as the premier platform for DeFi, identity, and next-generation applications, ADA as transaction layer for BTC. - Strategic Treasury Allocation: Advocate for funding that drives core blockchain development, governance enhancements, and effective marketing to boost ecosystem adoption. - Privacy & Security: Support privacy-enhancing solutions like Midnight to protect user data and enable secure, confidential governance participation. - DeFi Leadership: Promote the expansion of stablecoins, lending protocols, and decentralized identity solutions, solidifying Cardano’s role as the primary financial infrastructure. I will be acting in accordance with above core principles.
Motivations
My journey in blockchain spans 7 years—with 4 dedicated to Cardano—and over 30 years of observing the Internet’s evolution. With 25 years as a web developer, experience in machine learning, and a passion for history, I’ve deeply explored the nature of money, monetary policy, and governance, as well as the enduring principles of Bitcoin. Witnessing the shortcomings in today’s financial, corporate, governance, and banking systems—and recognizing the transformative potential (and risks) of the AI era—I believe that a decentralized, resilient framework is essential. Cardano and Bitcoin aren’t just innovative alternatives; they’re necessary foundations for a better, more equitable future in governance, finance, and identity.
Qualifications
Over 25 years in web development and programming. 10 years of blockchain experience, including 4 years focused on Cardano. Extensive research into monetary policy, governance, and the principles of Bitcoin. More than 30 years of following the Internet’s evolution and its impact on society. Background in machine learning and a strong historical perspective on governance, financial, monetary, technological and corporate systems.

NoReduce minimum Constitutional Committee size (committeeMinSize) from 7 to 5Epoch 614RationaleDropped5mo ago
It's not a bad idea, but I think the minimum Constitutional Committee size of 5 is too small. If we want to build resilience we should increase the total committee members to 9 and then make 7 minimum in case 2 are indisposed.

YesDefining the Cardano Vision and Roadmap for 2025 and beyondEpoch 549RationaleClosed1y ago
The governance action in question is about defining Cardano's vision and roadmap for 2025 and beyond, a critical step for the blockchain's future development. This roadmap outlines plans to improve scalability, expand Layer 2 solutions, and enhance developer experience, all of which are vital for Cardano's growth. Voting "Yes" supports these strategic initiatives, which could make Cardano more competitive and user-friendly. For example, enhancing scalability could mean faster transactions, benefiting everyday users. I do consider Leios, Hydra and Midgard as some of the top priorities.
NoDecrease Treasury Tax from 20% to 10%Epoch 546RationaleExpired1y ago
Reducing Cardano's Treasury Tax from 20% to 10% might seem appealing in the short-term by slightly boosting staking rewards, but this benefit is minimal compared to the significant long-term risks. Such a cut would sharply decrease funding available for critical ecosystem growth, innovation, and infrastructure. Instead of a tax reduction, it's wiser to allocate treasury resources towards strategic priorities such as marketing to attract wider adoption, supporting high-quality dApp development, scaling initiatives, and advancing Cardano’s core blockchain technology—including important improvements planned for 2025 and beyond. Prioritizing efforts like these ensures lasting value for stakeholders, strengthens Cardano’s position, and secures sustainable growth rather than risking ecosystem stagnation for temporary gains.
