Motivations
🌐 To enable necessary change on the Cardano blockchain so that we can continue to innovate, decentralize, attract new users to the ecosystem, and become the #1 cryptocurrency and worldwide financial operating system. 🌐 To ensure the treasury is managed conservatively so that we will always be able to fund future development on Cardano. 🌐 To enshrine the maximum supply cap of 45 billion ADA. 🌐 To encourage cost effective advertising and onboarding initiatives. There are many untapped areas of connection for Cardano to onboard new users. 🌐 To empower the world with universal access to secure and cost effective tools on the Cardano blockchain, replacing failed legacy systems.
Qualifications

Activate DeFi with USA – A Decentralized, Yield-Bearing Dollar for Cardano
This proposal seeks treasury support from the Cardano Foundation to strategically bootstrap liquidity for USA, a yield-bearing synthetic dollar [digital asset mimicking USD value via algorithms or derivatives] developed by SMARDEX and collateralized by long ADA positions. Already successfully deployed as USDN on Ethereum, USA uniquely combines genuine decentralization, trustless yield generation, and market-neutral stability, appealing to an underserved, critical and growing niche in the current DeFi landscape. This proposal is more widely available on the References and Supporting Information below, with the text here being intentionally short and concise. USA’s innovative design eliminates reliance on centralized entities or manual interventions, utilizing fully on-chain, autonomous perpetual futures markets to deliver sustainable yield. This differentiates it sharply from existing stablecoin solutions, which either lack yield entirely (e.g., GHO, sUSD) or rely on centralized management (e.g., USDe). Its Cardano-native architecture ensures seamless integration and composability within the ecosystem, avoiding cross-chain risks and enhancing resilience. By strategically deploying protocol-owned liquidity into USA, this proposal not only resolves the classic "cold start" liquidity challenge faced by new assets but actively fosters enduring economic activity and ecosystem growth. Unlike transient incentive programs that attract short-term, mercenary capital, treasury-supported liquidity in USA establishes deep, durable market foundations. The capital provided by the treasury remains fully under Cardano's control, accessible at all times through transparent, non-custodial, and permissionless smart contracts. In short, this initiative positions Cardano at the forefront of decentralized stablecoin innovation, creating lasting value through a sustainable, yield-bearing, and entirely Cardano-native asset.
Cardano Community Lead Constitution Update
This proposal establishes a Governance Workstream Consortium which establishes decentralized execution framework, ROM Multisig Model, to support the delivery of constitutional dept workstreams in Cardano. Its core aim is to ensure that budgeted governance tasks are completed verifiably, transparently, and without relying on a single administrator.
