What is Maker?
MakerDAO stands at the forefront of the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) realm, centralizing around its stablecoin, DAI, which is pegged to the US dollar and is collateralized by cryptocurrency. The system’s core decisions and functionalities revolve around a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
To mint DAI, users deposit cryptocurrency into a Maker Vault, adhering to a preset Liquidation Ratio. Given the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies, DAI is overcollateralized. A Stability Fee is levied, and if the value of the collateral slips beneath the Liquidation Ratio, the system liquidates it to offset potential losses. The DAO oversees DAI’s stability by adjusting the Stability Fee and the Dai Savings Rate. These adjustments serve as a counterbalance, especially if DAI deviates from its dollar peg.
The MKR token facilitates governance within the MakerDAO ecosystem. Owners of MKR tokens have the power to vote on pivotal aspects, including adjustments to the Stability Fee, configurations of the Dai Savings Rate, smart contract deployments, and broader structural changes. Their collective decisions directly impact DAI's performance and stability in the market.
