INSIDE THE INDEX
DPI Token Report: Maker (MKR) ✍🏻
The DeFi Pulse Index (DPI) features exposure to a total of fourteen underlying blue-chip protocols, including MKR, the governance token for MakerDAO. MakerDao is an open-source project built on the Ethereum blockchain that allows users to generate Dai by leveraging assets approved by MakerDao Governance. Dai is a decentralized and collateral-backed stablecoin soft-pegged to the USD. This means that the price of Dai loosely follows the price of the USD. This is achieved through a system of smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. Stablecoins are an important part of the DeFi ecosystem and MakerDao is at the forefront of this essential infrastructure. Unlike other stablecoins, Dai is truly decentralized as it is maintained through a DAO and collateralized through the MakerDAO protocol.
