Buy Maker | How to Buy Maker

What is Maker?

MakerDAO, symbolized as MKR, stands as the backbone of a revolutionary decentralized finance system. Founded in 2015, Maker's dual-token mechanism includes both MKR and DAI, the latter being a stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar. MKR, on the other hand, is used for governance in the Maker ecosystem and plays a crucial role in maintaining the stability of DAI.

Governance and stability

MKR token holders are the decision-makers of the MakerDAO system. They participate in key protocol decisions, ensuring that DAI remains stable and that the entire system operates efficiently.

Collateralized debt positions (CDPs)

MKR also enables the creation of CDPs, which allows users to generate DAI against the collateral they provide, making the ecosystem both flexible and secure.
