🌓Maker evolved into a fully decentralized organization! Thanks to the master (CEO) @RuneKek announcing that MakerDAO is now completely self-sufficient and the Foundation has successfully finished its responsibilities. Let's explain this MakerDAO's milestone in a thread 👇
2/14

🧠Six years ago, Rune conceived Dai in his mind as "e-dollar". His vision was "a popular currency that average people could use on Ethereum to interact with dapps without having to worry about insane volatility".
3/14

🔭What a vision Rune! Today, MakerDAO's team and the Ethereum ecosystem has turned this vision into reality with over 5 billion Dai in circulation, over $9 billion in assets locked in the Maker Protocol and over 40% of all Dai locked in DeFi protocols. ✊
4/14

🏗️From the beginning, Maker was intended as a fully decentralized organization. But, who was going to build everything needed to make this work that way? That's the reason for the Foundation: a group of selected members with the mission of building the pillars.
5/14

📣"It’s gone from a DAO, created by myself and a few passionate developers, to a Foundation tasked with bootstrapping an amazing project, and back to a DAO". Said Rune in the "MakerDAO Has Come Full Circle" announcement.
6/14

✅After all goals achieved, MakerDAO started to dissolve the Foundation. The milestone to complete the evolution was the approval of Core Units: a group of independent core teams with the responsibility of supplying all Maker needs to keep working and growing the Protocol.
7/14

🗳️But, one of the most relevant facts of these CUs is that they are proposed by the candidates to the community and then they need to be approved by the MakerDAO Governance through a decentralized governance system.
8/14

👩‍🔧👨‍🔧So, the "employees" of Maker actually are independent groups that has passed a voting cycle in which everybody can participate through MKR as a governance token. Here you can read our thread about how governance works at Maker as well:

9/14

🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️We, the Growth Core Unit, were conceived as a proposal on the Maker forum, and after a governance approval, officially we converted this idea into the MakerDAO Growth Core Unit. Here you can read how @nad8802 introduced us to the community: forum.makerdao.com/t/mip39c2-sp4-…
10/14

👏Our CU aims to grow the available distribution channels for the Maker protocol by intelligently deploying the human and financial capital given by the DAO. And like us, there are CUs of Risk, Engineering, Oracles, Real World Finance, GovAlpha and Content Production teams
11/14

From the team members to the budget, all related to CUs must be approved by Maker Governance. Here you can see two links to check these votes:

1️⃣ vote.makerdao.com/executive/temp…

2️⃣ vote.makerdao.com/executive/temp…
12/14

🌎In fact, ALL changes and implementations to the Maker organization must pass a governance system. From new Maker protocol features, to the new Maker team members.
13/14

✊"The global Maker community is now responsible for every aspect of the Maker Protocol and the DAO" was how Rune described that important fact. His last words in this exciting text, write the future of organizations:
🔮"Thank you again, everyone, for your support and passion. After a short break to enjoy the summer with my family, I look forward to once again being an independent community member and Maker Forum participant.

@MakerDAO has come full circle and is in good hands".

DSR is being boosted to 1.00%! 🚀🚀

Increasing the native, safest stablecoin yield will set a new baseline yield for the entire DeFi ecosystem.

For big treasuries, earning a 1.00% annual yield on its Dai holdings, with the same risk as holding single Dai, is HUGE 📈📈📈

🧵 Image
Let's see what's going on here.

Recently, @MakerDAO approved some DAO balance sheet investments across different TradFi vehicles.

This balance sheet is composed of USDC, USDP, and GUSD accumulated in the PSM as liquidity reserves. Image
There are 3 fundamental pieces of this investment strategy:

1️⃣ @coinbase Institutional Rewards — 2.36% on up to $1.6 billion USDC.

2️⃣ Monetalis Clydesdale — ~4% on up to 500 million USDC by purchasing bonds.

3️⃣ @Gemini GUSD Partnership — 1.25% on up to 500 million GUSD.

💸💸💸 @MakerDAO just executed the first DAO balance sheet investment in US Treasuries and Corporate bonds with a ceiling of $500 million USDC.

How is that possible?

🧵👇 Image
First, we need to know that @MakerDAO holds ~$4 billion in stablecoins. 💰

These assets come from the PSM operations — Maker's highly efficient decentralized exchange focused on stablecoins. Image
Basically, the PSM is a tool for swapping USDC, USDP, and GUSD for freshly-minted DAI at a 1:1 rate. 🔄

Every time a user puts their stablecoins to receive DAI in exchange, the PSM allocates these stablecoins as liquidity reserves. Image

Are you the one saying that DeFi protocols are censoring users or addresses flagged by regulations?

We are here to tell you that you're wrong by explaining the differences between decentralized protocols and user-interface providers.

🧵👇

1/ Image
First of all.

A protocol can be defined as a set of smart contracts that are publicly deployed on the Ethereum network.

They’re open-source code that follows instructions that are in turn validated by a decentralized network of nodes.

2/ Image
The Maker Protocol is a set of smart contracts publicity deployed on Ethereum.

It is open source code that follows instructions set by the code and validated by this network of nodes.

The official Canonical Dai bridge is now deployed on @Arbitrum Nova!

What is Arbitrum Nova and why is the Canonical Dai deployment so important?

Let's go

🧵

1/
@arbitrum Arbitrum Nova is a new chain built by @OffchainLabs for projects with very high transaction volumes that seek to drive costs even lower but still want high security.

This Arbitrum chain is different from Arbitrum One (the Rollup), and uses a new technology called AnyTrust.

2/
@arbitrum @OffchainLabs Unlike Rollup chains, which directly inherit their security properties from the security of Ethereum, AnyTrust chains use a different security model which enables them to offer lower transaction fees.

📈 There are different decentralized stablecoin protocols that generate organic Dai demand

💵 One of them is @OriginDollar (OUSD)

Through its yield-capturing power, Origin is now backing 28 million OUSD with DAI — +58% of all its circulating supply

How does it work?

🧵

1/
@OriginDollar 💸 Originally launched in 2020 by @OriginProtocol, OUSD is a stablecoin backed by other stablecoins — DAI, USDC, and USDT.

🤑 By deploying these underlying stablecoins into other DeFi protocols, OUSD generates passive yield income for its holders.

2/
@OriginDollar @OriginProtocol 📊 This yield is at 3.26% APY on a 30-day average.

📊 And, the 365-day trailing average is 11.21% APY.
