FAQ
Maker (MKR) is a governance token linked to MakerDAO and the Maker Protocol, both built on the Ethereum blockchain. Its primary role is to facilitate the management of DAI, a decentralized stablecoin designed to maintain a value close to the US dollar. While MKR tokens do not yield dividends, they grant holders voting rights over decisions related to the Maker Protocol's development and risk management. The token's value can fluctuate based on DAI's performance and the broader dynamics of the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, where Maker plays a key role in offering decentralized financial solutions on smart contract platforms.
Maker enables MKR token holders to participate in the governance of the Maker Protocol, specifically in managing the DAI stablecoin. Voting power is proportional to the amount of MKR held, allowing users to vote on key decisions such as adding new collateral types, adjusting risk parameters, selecting oracles, modifying the DAI Savings Rate, and approving protocol upgrades. By influencing these governance aspects, MKR holders contribute to the stability and evolution of the Maker ecosystem. The governance model ensures that the protocol remains decentralized and responsive to the needs of its community.
Maker's primary use case is to provide a decentralized governance framework for the DAI stablecoin, enabling token holders to participate in key decision-making processes. This includes voting on protocol upgrades, adjusting risk parameters, and selecting reliable oracles. The Maker Protocol also allows users to generate DAI by depositing collateral assets into Maker Vaults, offering a way to access liquidity without traditional financial intermediaries. This positions Maker as a crucial component of the DeFi ecosystem, supporting a range of applications from decentralized lending to automated financial services.
MakerDAO, the organization behind the Maker ecosystem, was founded in 2015 by Danish entrepreneur Rune Christensen. Prior to creating MakerDAO, Christensen co-founded Try China, an international recruiting firm, and studied biochemistry at Copenhagen University and international business at Copenhagen Business School. The Maker Protocol was officially launched in December 2017, making it one of the pioneering projects in the DeFi space. Since its inception, Maker has played a significant role in shaping decentralized finance, contributing to the development of stablecoins and governance models that have influenced the broader blockchain industry.
