Objectives
To safeguard the long-term survival and prosperity of the Cardano blockchain by advocating for decentralized governance. My primary focus is on protecting the Treasury and ensuring the viability of small, professionally-run stake pools, which are critical to maintaining a decentralized network. Additionally, I am committed to supporting the Cardano development tools and popular applications on the blockchain, and to advancing the Cardano ecosystem through promotion and grassroots growth.
Motivations
To contribute to the Cardano blockchain by ensuring that every voice is heard, and to actively participate in its governance with my ADA holding. I believe in the power of self-governance and the importance of collective decision-making.
Qualifications
I have been deeply involved in the Cardano ecosystem since 2017 and am one of the original independent single Cardano stake pool operators from the Incentivized Test Net. I operate with a commitment to decentralization, building all systems from source without reliance on common tools for installation or management, as the common approach exposes single points of failure within the ecosystem.
