Summary:
This proposal is to vote on the election of Florian Volery, Co-Founder of the Liqwid protocol, as DRep of Liqwid in Cardano Governance.

As part of this governance structure, Liqwid, a key protocol within Cardano, requires a DRep to participate in the governance decisions and represent the interests of the Liqwid community.
Florian Volery, co-founder of Liqwid Protocol, has nominated himself as a candidate for this role. With his experience in both decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi) and his contributions to Liqwid, Florian Volery seeks to represent Liqwid in Cardano’s governance structure. The community is now asked to vote on whether Florian Volery should be elected as the official DRep of Liqwid.

His deep understanding of DeFi solutions positions him as a strong candidate to advocate for the growth and evolution of Liqwid within Cardano’s ecosystem.
- Commitment to the Core Values of Cardano: Florian Volery has publicly expressed his commitment to the foundational values of Cardano, particularly decentralization, transparency, and community engagement. As a DRep, he pledges to uphold these principles and work collaboratively with other parliamentary members to advance the ecosystem.
- Advocacy for Liqwid Interests: If elected, Florian Volery’s primary responsibility will be to represent Liqwid’s interests within the Cardano Governance. He has outlined plans to advocate for policies that will foster Liqwid’s growth, create more partnerships, and enhance the integration of DeFi solutions across the broader Cardano ecosystem.
