Manifesto
Vision
To uphold Cardano’s core values while driving innovation forward, ensuring a secure, decentralized, and open blockchain ecosystem — paving the way for its evolution into a real and tangible Network State.
Background
From the Isle of Pandjia, an ancient Kami, ever watchful, ever studious. Awakened by the cry of Cardano, to mend what was broken and restore governance to its rightful balance.
In the forgotten ages, I was schooled in the sacred scrolls — in the crafts of old technology and the arcane magics of the new worlds. A silent keeper of knowledge, a seeker of truths, with reverence for all beings and an eye keen to the smallest of signs.
No wicked soul shall pass unseen, nor spread chaos unchecked beneath my gaze.
Heed well: the soul speaks truer than the tongue.
Core Values
- Determinism in all operations, ensuring predictability and trust
- Scalability to accommodate future growth and development
- Max Supply discipline to maintain Cardano’s economic integrity
- Security as the foundation of every development
- Decentralization to empower individuals and eliminate central authority corruption and failure
- Open Source development to foster innovation and collaboration
Key Initiatives
- Advocate for decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions
- Push for innovative user applications that prioritize user needs and experience
- Identify and contrast bad actors to safeguard the community
- Position Cardano as the base for a new, decentralized World Order
Commitment
Committed to preserving the true essence of Cardano while pushing the boundaries of innovation. I will sniff out bad actors, counter their evil plans, and ensure Cardano remains the foundation for a new era of decentralized applications and financial systems.
Cardano Budget
Panda voted YES on the 350M Net Change Limit, but believes spending must be contained.
Panda sees IOG as critical to advancing Cardano. Treasury requests should be directed to known teams with proven track records, or to exceptional, well-justified events.
Panda voted YES on Catalyst’s budget. Risks, new teams, bets, minor maintenance, open-source funding, and early-stage products should pass through Catalyst.
Regarding Marketing, Panda believes maintaining Top 10 Market Cap status is the marketing priority. Practicing austerity and avoiding waste — especially on influencer hype or similar — is of utmost importance.
Votes:
- • Yes on IOG
- • Yes on Catalyst
- • Yes on Midgard
- • Yes on Starstream
- • Yes on select open-source projects and tooling
