Objectives

As a dRep, my objective is to enhance transparency and clarity in Cardano's decision-making processes by leveraging my background as a seasoned financial professional.

Motivations

My motivation for becoming a dRep stems from a long-standing commitment to Cardano’s vision and values. Having actively contributed to the ecosystem since the early days, I have witnessed first-hand the importance of strong, principled governance. As a former SPO and financial professional, I bring both operational experience and a strategic perspective to the table. I believe Cardano’s governance process should be grounded in clarity, transparency, and informed participation.

Qualifications

I am a former Cardano stake pool operator and a financial professional with over 15 years of experience, offering a unique perspective that bridges both the technical and economic dimensions of network governance. This dual expertise is essential for making well-informed, balanced decisions that support Cardano’s long-term success.

Activate DeFi with USA – A Decentralized, Yield-Bearing Dollar for Cardano

Pending
ABSTAIN

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.
