Mat - ECO Pool

I believe that a strong ecosystem is built not just on technology but on the collective voice of its community. Many stakeholders share Cardano's vision and its values, but may not have the time or technical knowledge to engage deeply in governance. As a DRep, I aim to represent and advocate for those individuals, ensuring informed and responsible decision-making. I am also deeply motivated by sustainability - both in blockchain governance and environmental responsibility. I see Cardano as part of the solution, providing decentralized systems that empower individuals, reduce inefficiencies, create transparency and help us live a more balanced life with nature. By supporting responsible governance, I want to help shape Cardano into a force for both technological and environmental sustainability.

As a Cardano DRep, I advocate for a sustainable Cardano ecosystem - one that prioritizes environmental responsibility while also focusing on long-term, community-driven growth, ensuring resilience and inclusivity for generations to come. I aim to make informed governance decisions that benefit delegators, developers and the broader Cardano community by advocating for policies that promote decentralization, security, and long-term sustainability. My approach is rooted in transparency, collaboration, and a deep commitment to Cardano’s vision.

I have been an active member of the Cardano community since 2017 and a stake pool operator of ECO Pool for over four years, with deep technical expertise in Cardano infrastructure. I also run a Mithril Signer Node, contributing to network security and scalability. As a founding member of the Climate Neutral Cardano group, I have supported sustainability initiatives within the Cardano ecosystem. I have also been involved in various projects, including Cardano Forest, demonstrating my commitment to both technical innovation and environmental responsibility.
