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.
