Motivations
Becoming a DREP for My Son’s Future As a new father, everything I do now carries deeper meaning. Holding my newborn son in my arms, I see not just who he is—but who he can become. I want to give him every opportunity possible, and that starts with the choices I make today. Becoming a DREP on Cardano isn’t just about governance—it’s about stepping into the future. It’s about participating in something bigger than myself, learning, growing, and helping shape a decentralized world that rewards transparency, innovation, and fairness. By engaging with emerging technologies, I’m not only empowering myself, I’m creating a path my son can walk on—one where knowledge, curiosity, and courage matter. This isn’t just for me. It’s for him. For his future. For all our children. Because when we dare to build, we give them something real to inherit.

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.
