About
MakerDAO is a decentralized autonomous organization on the Ethereum blockchain that governs the Maker Protocol, which enables users to generate DAI, a decentralized stablecoin soft-pegged to the US dollar. MKR token holders participate in governance decisions, voting on risk parameters, collateral types, and protocol upgrades that maintain DAI's stability and the protocol's health. The ecosystem has grown to over 400 integrated apps and services spanning wallets, DeFi platforms, and games. In 2024-2025, the protocol underwent a major rebranding initiative known as Endgame, transitioning toward a Sky Protocol ecosystem with the USDS stablecoin and SKY governance token.
