⬆️ We all know that crypto is at its best: BTC and ETH at ATH, TVL on DeFi breaking records...

🌎 But, have you wondered what crypto could do for worldwide problems?

🌱 Here is the first thread about "The case for Clean Money", a piece by @RuneKek for the community.
2/21

πŸ™Œ To begin with, @MakerDAO has always had as its main purpose "to serving the underserved".

πŸ’² We made this possible through access to a stable, decentralized currency that is free from governments that neglect their own currencies.

πŸ’ͺ But yes, there is more we can do.
3/21

πŸ”¬ It's because there are more problems that an open and decentralized monetary network can solve.

πŸŒͺ️ One of them, one of the most worrying, is climate change.

🏞️ We all know that since we are living here, ecosystems, lands, resources and climate are not at their best.
4/21

πŸ”„ World is changing.

🧊 World is melting.

πŸ”₯ World is on fire.

🐒 World is watching ecosystems disappear.

πŸ€’ World is getting sick. The world where we live.
5/21

🧠 Maker, as a purpose-driven DAO, must be thinking out of the box to be part of the cure.

πŸ€” The first question here is: What can we do?

πŸ’° What we are doing now is a good start: Maker is a provider of monetary liquidity through overcollateralized debt.
6/21

⭐️ And we are good at what we do.

πŸŒ† The Maker Protocol now, beyond working in crypto, is a liquidity provider for entities rooted in the traditional financial system.
7/21

🏑 A proof of it is the first overcollateralized debt that issues Dai through real world assets (RWA), such as real estate ones, as a guarantee.

➑️ forum.makerdao.com/t/real-world-f…
8/21

πŸ’΅ In short, Maker is tokenizing the traditional financial instruments and putting it into work for creating a decentralized stable currency as an instant liquidity source.
9/21

🏦 Another great example is the vault that one of the biggest european banks, @SocieteGenerale, has proposed to open with tokenized bonds.

➑️ forum.makerdao.com/t/security-tok…
10/21

πŸ€” So, the question is: If there are real world assets that @MakerDAO can bring into crypto for generating liquidity through Dai, how can we use that value proposition to fund the world's cure?

πŸ™Œ It can't be too complicated at all.
11/21

πŸ”„ Imagine there's a company that is installing clean energy sources in emerging countries at an affordable cost for families living in the area who have never had access to electricity.
12/21

πŸ’° What if Maker can provide liquidity to fund a project like this through a senior credit position that an investor can guarantee by tokenized assets of the project's company?
13/21

⚑️ What if @MakerDAO decides to ensure that its collateral from RWA is always coming from projects that removes its carbon footprint or that produce renewable energy?
14/21

🀝 @MakerDAO and the blockchain can always assure that their collareal are following these purposes, and then, Dai will become a decentralized, stable and clean currency.
15/21

πŸ”­ But it's not just about "fixing the problem that is in the public eye". It's about sustainability too.

🌎 The problem that we would tackle could have unintended consequences for the global economy.
16/21

♻️ If the world as we know it could do a 180-degree turn, the financial system is also supposed to

If we assure that our entire system is backed by sustainable and climate-aligned collateral, we would be becoming a resilient financial system in the face of possible crises
17/21

β™»οΈπŸŒŽπŸ’° Maker can be part of the solution and can be prepared for the futurist-sustained finance.
18/21

πŸƒ Dai could become the clean money for the world as a stable, decentralized and sustainable currency

Clean as they are funding the planet's cure

Clean as they are created through climate stability collateral

Clean as they are fully working by a decentralized governance
19/21

β˜€οΈ With a brighter future for a sustainable and climate focused economy, the Clean Dai would drive big benefits for $MKR holders, who would also execute this sustainable purpose by voting on the best projects with better risk, benefit and planet-oriented metrics.
20/21

🏭 Remember that, as humanity, we have to reduce our CO2 emissions according to the graph below to prevent consequences that would be impossible to mitigate.

⚑️ Remember that, Dai can fund and be part of that graph.
1⃣ This is the first thread that follows the "clean money" series.

πŸ’₯ You are walking through your Maker Vault and suddenly this capybara has appeared!

βš”οΈ This is the Dai Protector, a capybara from @CryptopetsAR with a sword and a Dai-branded shield that is always ready to protect your collateral, your Dai and your entire Maker Vault.
πŸ™Œ Thanks to @CryptopetsAR for this custom MakerDAO NFT.

πŸ”¬ The Dai Protector capybara comes with a proprietary built-in CryptoTag that can be scanned to activate the augmented reality technology. Image
πŸ‘Ύ In the same way, all of the 9,999 unique pets have this amazing feature!

⛓️ All CryptoPets live in the Solana blockchain and can be viewed in augmented reality just by scanning their identifier QR code. Image

Dai is almost ready to jump into ... Arbitrum πŸ’₯

Maker Protocol Engineering CU are working to connect Dai to @arbitrum rollups solution. They will conduct a final audit of the Custom DAI Gateway before the launching πŸ’ͺ

What is Arbitrum? How does it work? Thread time! πŸ‘‡

πŸ—žοΈ What is a rollup?

A rollup is a scalability solution in which transactions are written on Ethereum, but the actual computation and storage of the contract are done off-chain

Transactions are executed on a chain that runs a version of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)
3/15

✍️ After executing transactions, the rollup batchs them together and posts them to the main Ethereum chain.

πŸ—žοΈ We can think of the assertion as "rolling up" all of the calls and their results into a single on-chain transaction.

MATIC-A vault is now live in Maker! You can issue Dai through $MATIC as collateral thanks to the decision of the Maker community & governance.

We all know that $MATIC is the native token of @0xPolygon PoS Chain. But, let's talk more deeply about this project in a thread:
2/18

MATIC-A was onboarded on the Aug 25 executive proposal that passed with these parameters:

- Stability Fee: 3%
- Liquidation Ratio: 175%
- Debt Ceiling: 10M DAI
- Target Available Debt: 3M DAI

Info about how to onboard a collateral in Maker here:
3/18

So, what is the @0xPolygon chain?

We could define the Polygon PoS Chain as a sidechain. But, in essence, it's not a common sidechain.

If you put crypto into a Maker Vault you can issue Dai. But, your crypto must have a greater value than the issued Dai. That relation of values has a required minimum level, and when your crypto falls below it, it's a FATALITY (Liquidation) time

How it works? Thread timeπŸ‘‡
2/15

πŸ’± Liquidation is the process of selling collateral to cover the amount of Dai a user has issued from their Vault.

It ensures that Dai is always backed by an appropriate amount of collateral by closing-out Vaults that are under their min. required Collateralization Ratio.
3/15

πŸ‘Ό Let's assume you issued 10,000 Dai through a Vault in which you put 6 ETH and the current value of your 6 ETH is 18k USD (1 ETH = 3k USD). Ok! Your Vault is healthy, because your Collateralization Ratio is above 150%. Actually, this Ratio is 180% with the current values.

✊ 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 πŸ‘‡ Image
2/14

πŸŒ„ 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.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ­πŸ§‘β€πŸ­So, without a Foundation, where is the workforce of the people who will continue to keep working and growing Maker? Core Units have arrived!

MakerDAO launched 1,000,000 MKR tokens at its inception, but 991,328 is its current maximum total supply according to @etherscan.

The +8.000 MKR "missing" are really burned! πŸ”₯

Why is MKR supply dynamic and how does it work? It's time for a thread! πŸ‘‡
2/12

✊ MKR is the governance token of MakerDAO. Its main functionality is to be used as vote power to approve or reject improvements and changes to the Maker ecosystem. But, actually there is another reason why MKR exists.
3/12

🀝 The token also acts as a source of incentives to govern the system well. This is because its supply can change according to the situations presented by the Maker protocol.
