DRep Profile
Linh Tran
I want to represent voices that are often overlooked—those who may not be technical, but care about financial responsibility and want the treasury used wisely. As a DRep, I aim to vote based on real-world thinking, balanced analysis, and the values that make Cardano special: transparency, long-termism, and sustainability. I want to help bridge ideas with practical execution.
Objectives
I want to represent voices that are often overlooked—those who may not be technical, but care about financial responsibility and want the treasury used wisely. As a DRep, I aim to vote based on real-world thinking, balanced analysis, and the values that make Cardano special: transparency, long-termism, and sustainability. I want to help bridge ideas with practical execution.
Motivations
The more I followed Cardano governance, the more I saw the importance of the DRep role. I’ve invested in personal finance for over four years and tracked Catalyst closely. I felt called to step up—not just as a passive investor, but as someone who can help improve how proposals are evaluated. I want to make governance more responsible, especially in how funds are allocated and justified.
Qualifications
I’ve worked nearly a decade across operations, finance, and enterprise systems like SAP. I understand how to plan, evaluate, and optimize budgets in the real world. While I don't come from a tech background, I bring strong financial analysis skills and on-the-ground experience. I value practicality, logic, and clear communication. I also follow blockchain education to grow alongside the ecosystem.

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.
