body: Name the Protocol Version 12 hard fork “von Bergen“
  abstract: This info action proposes naming the Protocol Version 12 hard fork “von Bergen” as a salute and recognition to Fabian von Bergen, also known as Zyroxa. Fabian has been a Cardano community member since the ITN, an always critical, honest and sound voice in Cardano's past who introduced and guided many through the Cardano ecosystem, a well known person on the Cardano Forum, also SPO of the Tempus Stake Pool and a Cardano Ambassador since the earliest days of the program.
  motivation: Many of us remember Fabian as a humble and modest, yet hard working person. Kind and smart and always honest and authentic to his perspectives and opinions, a person who said what he thought and stood his ground. Fabian passed away in January 2026.
  rationale: Naming the hard fork “von Bergen” would preserve Fabian’s name in Cardano’s history and recognize his lasting contribution to the community. This action is submitted as a salute to his work and his doings and the echo he will leave for this ecosystem. Shall his name remain known to the ledger. In deepest respect to Fabian.
