Manuel SNAKE
Badges (7)
Hi, I’m Manuel, operator of SNAKE Stakepool on the Cardano network. My passion for technology, distributed networks, and cryptography led me to blockchain in 2017. After years in IT, focusing on system administration and coding, I discovered Cardano in 2019. Its peer-reviewed research and proof-of-stake protocol inspired me to launch SNAKE Pool. I’m dedicated to providing reliable, transparent staking services and contributing to Cardano's mission of decentralization and financial inclusivity. I actively participate in Cardano’s on-chain governance initiatives, supporting the evolution of a decentralized and self-sustaining ecosystem that empowers its community.
Motivations
My motivation to become a DRep stems from a deep commitment to the principles of decentralization and self-governance. Cardano’s on-chain governance is a groundbreaking technology in giving power back to the community, and I want to be part of shaping that evolution. As someone who has been actively involved in Cardano’s ecosystem and the operator of SNAKE Stakepool, I’ve seen the immense potential of distributed networks to foster transparency, fairness, and innovation. Being a DRep would allow me to use my experience to bridge the gap between technical development and community needs. I want to help Cardano thrive as a self-sustaining ecosystem, driven by its users, and create a governance model that other blockchains aspire to follow.
Qualifications

Yes2025 Cardano NCLEpoch 561RationaleClosed1y ago
YES – We supports GA “2025 Cardano NCL”. Setting a 200 M ADA Net Change Limit for epochs 532-604 is a cautious, data-driven safeguard: it protects Treasury principal, satisfies Article IV guardrails, and still unlocks funds for essential maintenance, scaling, and ecosystem expansion. This cap lets the community test new budgeting and audit workflows, gather metrics, and refine the process before defining 2026 limits.
YesDefining the Cardano Vision and Roadmap for 2025 and beyondEpoch 549RationaleClosed1y ago
I voted YES because this roadmap presents a holistic, ambitious, and community-driven strategy to solidify Cardano’s position as a leader in decentralized infrastructure. This vision balances technical excellence with ecosystem growth, ensuring Cardano remains adaptable, scalable, and foundational to the decentralized future.
