About
Objectives
I am the operator of Ashiya Pool and an artist known as ASY (A$Y). I work in the entertainment industry creating music, NFTs, and community experiences. My passion is connecting people with each other and with Cardano, especially here in Japan where awareness is still small. Through creativity and culture, I aim to bring more smiles and introduce more people to the Cardano ecosystem.

Motivations
As a DRep, my goal is to help Cardano grow by strengthening real human connections. I care about making Cardano more approachable for everyday people in Japan, not just for those who understand the technology. While tech is important, I believe culture, entertainment, and community are just as powerful for adoption. I want to support proposals that spread Cardano through education, creativity, and public outreach, especially projects that bring people together and inspire smiles. My mission is to represent users who want Cardano to be both technologically strong and truly connected to real communities.

YesName Protocol Version 11 hard fork - van RossemDecided epoch 613View rationaleClosed7mo ago
This is a respectful, symbolic action that honors a real contributor to Cardano. I’m happy to support it.
YesIncrease Transaction and Block Memory Units (Part 1 of 2)Decided epoch 614View rationaleEnacted7mo ago
I support this parameter change because it’s a measured, well-tested increase that makes Plutus development easier without putting the network at risk. It’s been discussed publicly, benchmarked on testnets, and stays within all guardrails. This is a sensible step toward better scalability.
Yes4b10e5793208cb8f228756e02113227c91602248eac4d992681a0ee760b6c4e2#0Decided epoch 614View rationaleExpired7mo ago
I’m voting yes on this first withdrawal because it’s about setting things up properly, not spending big money yet. The proposal clearly shows where the funds go — legal structure, smart contracts, and audits — and includes solid oversight and reporting. Having this foundation in place lets the community properly judge any larger liquidity deployment later.
YesNet Change Limit (Epoch 613 to Epoch 713)Decided epoch 612View rationaleClosed8mo ago
I support the Net Change Limit because it helps keep stake movements gradual and avoids sudden shocks to the network. For smaller and independent pools, this kind of stability matters. It gives operators time to adapt and helps prevent stake from concentrating too quickly in a few large players. Overall, I believe this is better for decentralization and long-term network health.
Yes2025 Net Change Limit ExtensionDecided epoch 604View rationaleClosed9mo ago
I’m voting YES because keeping the net change limit in place is simply a safety measure. It protects the system from sudden or unnecessary constitutional changes while governance continues to mature. There’s no downside to extending this safeguard, and it keeps things stable.

YesCardano Critical Integrations BudgetDecided epoch 604revotedView rationaleClosed9mo ago
I’m voting YES because the major Cardano groups — IOG, EMURGO, Intersect, the Foundation, and Midnight — are finally aligned on moving these critical integrations forward. It’s good to see the main players on the same page and pushing in the same direction. This budget gives them what they need to actually get the work done, so I’m supporting it.
