What is Maker (MKR)?

Maker MKR is the governance token of the MakerDAO system. This means that MKR holders have voting rights on important decisions within the protocol, such as which types of collateral are accepted and how high the stability fees are.

How does Maker MKR work?

Maker is all about creating and managing DAI, a decentralized stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Users can generate DAI by locking up cryptocurrencies, like Ethereum (ETH), as collateral in smart contracts called Collateralized Debt Positions (CDPs). These CDPs help keep the value of DAI stable, even when the market is volatile.

Key components of the Maker ecosystem:

  • DAI Stablecoin: A decentralized stablecoin designed to maintain a stable value of around $1. Unlike other stablecoins backed by traditional assets, DAI is supported by a variety of cryptocurrencies.
  • Collateralized Debt Positions (CDPs): Smart contracts that allow users to lock up their cryptocurrencies as collateral to generate DAI. It's important to maintain a minimum collateral ratio to avoid liquidation.
  • Stability Fees: Fees paid by users generating DAI via CDPs. These fees are usually paid in MKR tokens and help keep DAI's value stable. If DAI's price falls below $1, the stability fee increases to encourage users to pay back their DAI and reduce supply. On the other hand, if DAI's price rises above $1, the stability fee decreases to encourage more DAI generation.

Who are the founders of Maker MKR?

Maker MKR and the Maker DAO project were founded by Rune Christensen, a Danish entrepreneur and developer in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. He’s considered the driving force behind MakerDAO and has contributed to the development and popularization of decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on the Ethereum blockchain.
