✊ Core Units completed the final decentralization of @MakerDAO and its protocol

Now the workforce of a DeFi protocol that generates hundreds of millions in revenue is fully decentralized

How do Core Units work and why are they the future of work? Time for a new thread 👇 Image
2/14

🌄 From the beginning, Maker was conceived as an entirely decentralized organization. But for this to become a reality, it was necessary to build a solid base.

For this reason it started as a Foundation with employees in a traditional scheme.
3/14

🎯 This year the objectives of the Foundation were achieved, and therefore it was dissolved.

👨‍🏭🧑‍🏭So, without a Foundation, where is the workforce of the people who will continue to keep working and growing Maker? Core Units have arrived!

☄️ A Core Unit is a structure that has a budget attached to it, managed by one or more Facilitators, that coordinate and pay contributors working to achieve the goals within MakerDAO

In other words, a Core Unit is an independent group that works for the DAO and its goals.
5/14

👥🗣️ One of the most important decentralized features of a Core Unit is that they must be proposed by community members and voted on by Maker Governance.
6/14

📈 As the Maker Growth Core Unit, we are a company born out of the MakerDAO community, dedicated to the continued growth of the Dai stablecoin and the Maker protocol through strategic partnerships and business development.
7/14

🐣 How do we create ourselves? Just like all Core Units, everything starts from a proposal. @nad8802, as the Facilitator, made a proposal in the Maker forum so that the whole Maker community could see and comment it: forum.makerdao.com/t/mip39c2-sp4-…
8/14

🎨 There our motivation, our mandate and our strategy were described.

💸 In the same vein, our budget was proposed in another public blogpost for the community.

🗳️ And from that moment, our Core Unit proposal entered into the governance cycle.
9/14

👛 It was time for an entire community of token holders to decide if all the features of this Core Unit were necessary for Maker. Image
10/14

💰 Where does the money come from? Once the proposal and its budget are approved by the governance, that amount of Dai is transferred from the Surplus Buffer to a multisig wallet controlled by the Facilitator(s) of the Core Unit.
11/14

💱 Remember that the Surplus buffer is a place where all DAI from stability fees (fees from DAI minted as debt) are accrued. So, essentially it's where the protocol revenue is pooled. Image
12/14

🤝 Our commitment to governance and the community does not end with the approval of the Core Unit. To contribute to the transparency of our work and the resources allocated, Core Units publish a weekly or bi-weekly performance report.
13/14

🏭 In short, MakerDAO's core unit system has shown that centralization of work is not essential. Chief officers, bosses, departments, hierarchy, and the commonplace we know as "work" have been redefined by the power of decentralized governance.
🧠🌌 Decentralization is here. Future is here. @MakerDAO, a business that generates hundreds of millions in revenue while redefining digital finance is driven by independent groups of workers that could be any community member with a great idea.

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.
