Objectives

SVRN is the only NPO-operated, Cardano Mission Driven Stake Pool at time of writing (December, '24), gifting 80% of its rewards to the publicly registered, environmental non-profit organization, Sleeping Natives Productions, which seeks to inspire, inform, and accelerate the adoption of decentralized, alternative energy & financial technologies. We've been involved with Cardano as an SPO since October of 2020 and it's our ongoing mission to educate how critical the adoption of decentralized finance is for certain highly suppressed, truly alternative energy technologies to emerge.

Motivations

Alternative financial technologies are essential for the liberation of truly alternative energy technologies. Only a flourishing, fully decentralized and permissionless financial system can alter the current landscape. Our goals as a Cardano SPO align with our mission to promote these inventions world-wide and our actions as a DRep will always reflect this drive towards decentralized energy and finance.

Qualifications

Relevant experience to support governance as a DRep for the Cardano community comes from our operator's (Philip de Souza's) daily profession as a Data Management & Governance Specialist for the official stock exchange of the EU & Germany, Deutsche Börse Group, where he most recently headed the definition of the exchange's group-wide, Data Domain Model. Governance being a deceptively difficult topic for any large scale organization, his approach to the subject comes with great care and methodical attention to detail. Philip also consistently makes efforts to drive the adoption of permissionless technologies within the legacy financial system so as to help shape the regulatory framework as it develops. As presenter of the EU exchange's monthly 'CTO Knowledge Exchange', he recently hosted Midnight's CFO, Fahmi Syed, to introduce cryptographically secure, selective disclosure to the group.
